* Correct order of arguments to /FSET SEND_ENCRYPTED_MSG and
SEND_ENCRYPTED_NOTICE and improve default formatting. (caf)
* Add /FSET ENCRYPTED_PUBLIC and ENCRYPTED_PUBLIC_NOTICE formats, and fix
use of ENCRYPTED_PRIVMSG and ENCRYPTED_NOTICE so they use the right number
of arguments. (caf)

correct type before using them. This might have caused a problem with
the qmail plugin on 64 bit architectures. (caf)
* Fix bug in DCC privileged port detection logic. (caf)
* Don't show DCC "Handshake failed" message twice, improve the message itself
and use the same one for privileged port / zero address. (caf)

so it appears whether or not you're opped. (caf)
* Add halfop support to $channel() scripting function. (caf)
* Rework /SCAN and /NAMES formatting. This removes the /FSETs NAMES_BOTCOLOR,
NAMES_FRIENDCOLOR, NAMES_NICKCOLOR, NAMES_OPCOLOR, NAMES_SHITCOLOR and

existing function in EPIC. (caf)
* Fix four bugs in the /FE scripting function. (caf)

* Finished the /uptime code to display the number of users on the userlist.
* Included RoboHak's patch for the /invite #%s bug as well as numerous other
non remote exploitable similar problems.
* Small problem in the userlist found and corrected..
* hpknight and Robohak found/fixed an error in the /watch cmd which was
causing you to flood off if you added a nick to the watch list
* Added /m nick PASS old_pass new_pass command. If there is no password,
then password will be set to old_pass. Also,
/adduser nick chan friend pass if the user is already on your list, will
change the user's password.
* xcopy noticed and fixed /kill *.
* pixels@chez.com submitted a mircansi() patch to properly decode mirc color
codes.
* some changes made to the napster plugin. Read the dll/nap/Changelog
* Found a annoyance if you are not attached to a server, auto_away() would
still attempt to place you away
* HDClown requested a -a flag to /sc. displays ALL channels your currently
in.
* if not connected to a server, from_server = -1, which caused
get_connected() to use the last server in the list. We now use the 0th
server in the list.
* added a $z variable which is the number of servers in the serverlist.
* auto-reconnect's now check for a running auto-reconnect timer.
* changed cdcc save/load so the .cdcc.save has a header. This should help
prevent people from attempting to /cdcc load some_binary_file

b) autoconf patches so that we can build multiple arch's from the
same source easily.
mkdir local
cd local
../configure
make
* wojtekka@bydnet.com.pl contributed a better LATIN1 set of formats.
He also contributed a IPV6 patch for bx.
* fixed both hybrid6 and bx with a userhost problem.
* changed /load to check for .tcl extention and load the file differantly
* possible fix for wholeft problems and split servers.
* found logic problem in /kline. hybrid6 has stats k and K for temp-klines
and klines.
* small error in /nwhois found/fixed.
* Vetesgirl noticed that "/ajoin " would core.
* possible fix for a problem when recieving an invite to a channel and
becoming de-synced.
* DavidW2 can now stop bugging me about /ctcp's that do not display in the
correct window. at least according to him.
* encrypted passwd's were not quite as easy as first thought. We really don't
want to double encrypt the passwd's.
* added find_command() to the module function table. Needed by singe for his
bnc module.
* Fixed /wi with no args.. It should never whois the channel. several
people pointed this out. war-, Xavier.
* with the change for /wset name|refnum variable, came a couple of bugs.
* iblis found that /do echo $regexec(a) would core libc.
* merged in $getcap() from epic 2.5. Changed /bind so that you can specify
the actual key if you know the name to bind. ex. /bind key_f1 will
display what the key is bound to, you could also change the binding.
$getcap(TERM enter_pc_charset_mode) will return the sequence needed for
entering the pc charset. getcap() understands 3 types of names for the
termcap's, long short and termcap. We will also mangle the return so it is
displayable. $getcap(TERM capability type mangle). Type can be 0-3 and
mangle 0-1. Complete list of capabililies can be found in term.c
* fudd found problem with lookup_channel() and $numonchannel() which would
core the client
* Huey discovered that command completion was broken..
* wset will now take check a number against the window refnum.
* fixed bug in $dccitem()
* exported io() and irc_exit() functions. Added a cleanup function
add_sockettimeout(). Added $w alias for the current_window refnum. Added
additional check to function_topic(). exported lock_stack_frame() and
unlock_stack_frame() functions. These are to be used with io().
* sellfone found a bug with /help
* stupid error in history_match() would core with /!. found by azen.
* added the actual url count to the URLGRAB hook. Unfortunately this is the
first param which will cause some script problems if your using this.
* fixed/found problem with $aliasctl() when we added the second param to
functions. bestis pointed this out.
* found obscure bug which was loosing the notify list.
* found/replaced several occurances of strtoul() with my_atol() in numbers.c
* added support for DalNet's /watch command. new function $watch() based on
$notify() added.
* changed the join flood code so it uses the bantype.
* found memory leak in the JOIN_NEW_WINDOW code.
* modified 004 numeric where we do the channel auto-joins. It now checks for
server version and does the appropriate thing for broken hybrid6.
* added a add_completion_type() call which adds to the tab completion
routines. This is meant for plugin usage.
* plugin help is now available via /help. required small change to
add_module_proc() and remove_module_proc(). "func2" is now the help for
command procs. and desc is being properly used now, it was supposed to be
the command to send to the irc server.
* NOTE: major change to userlist. Password is now encrypted, there is NO way
to ensure backwards compatibility.
* added 2 new functions $strchr() and $strrchr(). $strchr(/ testing/blah)
will return the string starting at the / strrchr() starts at the end
* added a feature to /cleartab so it will remove a nick from the tabkey
array instead of ALL. /cleartab nick or /cleartab nick nick nick
* fe was using a next_arg() instead of a new_next_arg()
* found/fixed a window text leak.
* wrote a fserv plugin for serving files. This is a fairly extensive module
with ALOT of functionality. Works in 95/NT as well. Have a look at the
fserv.c code in dll/fserv and look at help_fserv() function for
documentation or loaddll fserv and /fshelp.
* found memleak in cdcc queue sends.
* Added /lastlog -append to append to the file instead of overwriting.
* changed scr-bx's re-attach code and term_init() so it passes the TERM
variable back and forth.. This will cause problems with older scr-bx.
Looks like this might fix the differing TERM types problem when switching
from X <-> console.
* fixed broken ftp command.
* several people noticed that /back would send a blank line to the server.
* KrOn found a small bug in e_pause(). missed a return; statement.
* missing a bunch of Changelog fixes due to some file corruption.
* found major nicklist bug's remember to mutex_unlock instead of
mutex_lock'g nuke.
* Merged in changes from nuke and DavidW2.
* /dcc chat ni<tab> should complete properly now. did this break anything
else? fixed /ls ~<tab> to work like bash shell.
* more configure.in/Makefile.in changes
* found a null pointer problem with /window create.
* valium/Robohak found a nick completion bug.
* added $chanwindow() for compat with openchat.
* fixed up sock4/sock5 routines. seems they were using the wrong port for
the server connection.
* buffer overrun with /set mangle found/fixed. introduced a len to
mangle_line()
* bug with /bhelp # found by whytefang
* All FORMAT_ removed from the fset array. So instead of /fset format_msg we
now use /fset msg. Numeric fsets were moved to the numeric array and
removed from the fset array.
* structure lookups added. What these allow is access to the internal
structures on a limited basis. $window(0)->log will return on/off for
example. Currently, we can use $window, $channel, $nick, and $dcc. Some of
these allow sub-structure access like $channel(#bitchx)->nick
for $channel we have channel, server, mode, topic, topic_lock, limit, key,
chop, hop, voice, bound, chanpass, connected, refnum, maxidle, tog_limit,
check_idle, do_scan, stats_ops, stats_dops, stats_bans, stats_unbans,
stats_sops, stats_sdops, stats_shops, stats_sdehops, stats_ebans,
stats_seunbans, stats_sbans, stats_unbans, stats_topics, stats_kicks,
stats_pubs, stats_parts, stats_signoffs, stats_joins, stats_ebans,
stats_unebans, stats_chanpass, stats_hops, stats_dehops, msglog,
msglog_file, totalnicks, maxnicks, maxnickstime, totalbans, maxbans,
maxbanstime, bans, exemptbans, nick, cset.
for $dcc we have user, userhost, server, encrypt, filename, othername,
bytes_read, bytes_sent, start_offset, filesize, packets, blocksize,
dcc_fast, remport, localport, dccnum
for $window we have name, refnum, server, top, bottom, cursor, line_cnt,
scroll, scratch, columns, notify_level, window_level, current_channel,
waiting_channel, bind_channel, query_nick, query_host, query_cmd, log,
logfile, lastlog_level, lastlog_size, lastlog_max, hold_mode, mangler
for $nick we have nick, host, ip, server, ip_count, userlist, shitlist, flags
idle_time, floodcount, floodtime, nickcount, nicktime, kickcount,
kicktime, joincount, jointime, kickcount, kicktime, created, stat_kicks,
stat_dops, stat_ops, stat_hops, stat_dhops, stat_eban, stat_uneban,
stat_bans, stat_unbans, stat_nicks, stat_pub, stat_topics, stat_reop,
sent_reop_time, sent_voice, sent_voice_time, sent_deop, sent_deop_time,
need_userhost
for $nick() we have two further level of redirection for the Userlist and
the shitlist. nick, host, comment, channels, password, flags, time and
filter, level, channels, reason, time.
$nick(panasync)->userlist->host
for $channel we have ->bans, ->exemptbans, ->cset and ->nick
ban has ban, setby, sent_unban, sent_unban_time, time and count.
exemptbans has the same as the above.
cset has ainv, annoy_kick, aop, auto_join_on_invite, auto_limit,
auto_rejoin, bantime, bitch, chanmode, channel_log,
channel_log_file, channel_log_level, compress_modes, ctcp_flood_ban,
deopflood, deopflood_time, deop_on_deopflood, deop_on_kickflood,
hacking, joinflood, joinflood_time, kickflood, kickflood_time,
kick_if_banned, kick_on_deopflood, kick_on_joinflood,
kick_on_kickflood, kick_on_pubflood, kick_ops, lameident,
lamelist, nickflood, nickflood_time, pubflood, pubflood_ignore_time,
pubflood_time, shitlist, userlist, channel
Some of these if it makes sense are READ/WRITE as well. So for example
$channel(#bitchx)->cset->channel_log_file[~/bitchx.log] will set the
cset channel_log_file to ~/bitchx.log.
* Seems that SNOTE level was broken. Actually not broken, just changed.
* possible fix for /whokill.
* added a /ov log feature. which will create a logfile of your ov window.
* Added a feature to hooks... a return next; in a hook will cause the next
hook in the line to be eval'd. Also plugged a memory leak in do_hook().
Now the following is possible.
on ^channel_synch "#bitchx *" { echo 1 $*;return next}
on ^channel_synch "*" { echo 2 $*;return next}
This sequence will run both possible hooks and the default handler. The
last ran hook defines what the default return is. So
on ^channel_synch "#bitchx *" { echo 1 $*;return next}
on ^channel_synch "*" { echo 2 $*;return}
would run both these hooks, but would supress the default.
* Documented a few more commands. Added /wilc and /wilcr for whois'g last
nick who ctcp'd you and the last ctcp you sent. Cleaned up my_whois()
* Fixed Makefile's and configure from DavidW2. Fixed the Fixed Makefiles
* small modification to /fset which will allow a scripter to /fset number
text for server numerics. ie /fset 001 $G $2- (default). /fset 1 will
display the setting. and /fset -001 would remove it.
* ALL commands can now use /command -help to recieve help. Internal command
table help is given preference and then BitchX.help. Removed most
references to userage() as a result.
* rewrote /kline and /tkline. Multiple hosts can be specified. comma
delimited. /kline host,host1,host2 :reason and tkline time
host,host1,host2 :reason Added support for /dline and added a /unkline.
* Re-wrote /sping. /sping . will ping the current server. /sping servername
will ping a server. Multiple servers can be specified. /sping -clear will
clear the internal sping list.
* $ischanop() will now except either (nickname #chan) or
(#chan nickname[,nickname,nickname]). Fixed $channicks() as well. We can
now do a $ischanop($C $channicks($C)) $isvoice() modified to accept comma
separated list of nicks
* Added a /set TIMESTAMP on/off TIMESTAMP_STR "%I:%M%p" and a new code for
the color parser %@. the effect of all these is the following, with /set
TIMESTAMP on, whenever a %@ is encountered in a /fset, the TIMESTAMP_STR
is used to set the timestamp for that event. TIMESTAMP_STR uses strftime()
to display the time.
* added some changes from lastest epic. new functions from epic $prefix(),
$maxlen(), $stat(), $insert(), $ttyname(), $realpath(),$indextoword(),
$functioncall() and $lastlog(). /set DCC_USE_GATEWAY_ADDR on/off added.
* a little work done on /detach.
* Re-Arranged bot_link.c, tcl_public.c and tcl.c.
* Various misc fixes in translat.c, functions.c
* Added a New plugin, qmail, which replaces the internal mail checking with
one specific to Qmail. Also added a /set qmaildir variable to define
where. Normally this will be ~/Maildir/new
* added a new module proc. With it, functions in the global_table[]
can be replaced with module functions. This can be dangerous however
and ALOT of care must be taken.. passing a (table_number | TABLE_PROC) to
add_module_proc() and a function, Will replace that function in the table.
remove_module_proc() with a (table_number | TABLE_PROC) will make that
table entry NULL.
* found 3 differant memory leaks. One in timed_server(), another in
url_grabbing and finally one in notice's.
* fixed bug with BitchX irc.server requiring a nick.
* added $LOG(text) which will add text to your /set LOGFILE if /set LOG is
on
* found bug with ircII.servers file not being read.
* more configure problems found/solved. ALL text files can be .bz2'd.
including the help files.
* wavplay.so added. plays wavfiles from BitchX.
* more tabkey problems fixed. use current_window->server instead of
from_server for finding nicks/channels for the current window.
Also found/fixed the off by one problem with files that have the same
prefix.
* found/fixed problem with ALPHA compiles and misc.c. Seems that gnu uses a
va_list structure for variable arguements. (va_list) NULL is too
small.(By-Tor_)
* added new cset and set for defining the time for a ban. two new commands
added for timed bans. /TKB and /TBK. /cset BANTIME and /set BANTIME. Patch
for this from DavidW2.
* added 2 new functions for GTK/PM scripters. Also will help in people with
.bitchxrc problems. $gtkbitchx() will return 1 if running under GTK and
$pmbitchx() for OS2. This makes it possible to make a if () in your
scripts checking for variations.
* an example of how to write a tcl c function is included in tcl_public.c
* added more pht patches.
* found and fixed core problem with /bhelp -dump
* More changes to places where files can reside. BitchX.help, BitchX.quit
BitchX.reasons, BitchX.ircnames can be anywhere on the /set LOAD_PATH for
increased flexibility. currently
~/.BitchX:~/.BitchX/plugins:~/usr/local/lib/bx/scripts:/usr/local/lib/bx
are searched in the shown order for the files that are considered extra..
* DavidW2 rewrote configure for us. Some modifications made so that dll's
are all created when --with-plugins is used on the configure. Otherwise
no plugins are compiled. You can also specify just the plugins you want.
* revamped hint module slightly. added a /hintsay. BitchX.hints can be
installed in the LOAD_PATH. This would allow system admins to create
a bxglobal with /loaddll hint and a /timer 10 hint for example.
* fixed modules. Also made /loaddll check the plugins dir. You can also
now either /loaddll amp.so or /loadll amp and the module will be loaded if
found.
* fixed a tabkey glob problem with case-sensitivity.
* fixed several problems with space's in filenames and tabkey.
* fixed a bug with ${9.9 + 4} when FLOATING_POINT_MATH is on. we weren't
actually setting up for floating point math.
* changed /window bind and unbind to support multiple channel binds.
* fixed another annoying goto wrong window output from /sping
* forgot about this, added a char * to add_timer() call which set's the whom
set the timer. This helps keep track of running timers.
* orignick modification so it will follow server changes.
* found/fixed memleak and cpu usage hog with timers.
* $getfsets() returns all fsets that have been set. including user specified
fsets with +format_blah.
* /cset auto_limit # will now do channel limiting. The formula is like this
if the limit hasn't been set by us within the last 30 seconds then we will
check to see if we need to set it. if the limit - users < autolimit/2 or
limit - users > limit + autolimit/2 then raise the limit by auto_limit.
* modified /NSLOOKUP so that -CMD {...} nick1 nick2 nick3 is possible.
* message_from() should use the window refnum instead of window ptr.
* seems ajoin was forgetting that a channel key was a possiblity. [nuke].
* added a /awaymsg which will set or reset internal auto-away msg.
* played around with #define BITCHX_LITE some more.
* DavidW2 found a small channel removal problem.
* changed add_channel() in names.c slightly. maybe this will fix the
incorrect window/channel issues.
* jmd noticed that /quote help was not outputting correctly.
* added millisecond precision timers. some other changes as well to window
levels. timers use the refnum instead of window ptr, so it can't be
deleted while the timer is running, causing a core.
* some changes including fixing a channel artifact problem, channel
join/part/join coring fixed.
* some basic changes to the bot mode added. /set BOT_MODE on will now allow
people on the userlist to auto-chat the bot. people with TCL userlist
entry can make your client do things. ie /m =nick .irc join #bitchx will
cause your client to join the channel #bitchx. ANY bx command is allowed,
so some caution is required. requested by vega.
* added $chancomp() and $filecomp() which are backdoor functions into the
internal channel and filename completion routines. requested by shade.
* DavidW2 found a small word break problem with a WORD_BREAK char as the
last char on a line. It should not be on a line by itself.
* DavidW2 created a variable url list feature. /set MAX_URLS will set the
max urls the client will store. /url - will clear the url list.
* pht created several patches. 1) implemented default channel modes /cset.
2) fixed several ts4 bugs. 3) found bug with removing a channel and
exemptbans.
* changed orignick slightly. Should now work on multiple servers.
* more PTnet changes.
* added 2 new fsets for encrypted msg and notice sends. also fixed a problem
with the send_text() which was displaying the encrypted text and not
the un-encrypted. nugget@distributed.net
* bestis noticed a small problem in the userlist on irc-net. it involves
special chars the server places in front of a username.
* added a /set SEND_CTCP_MSG which will turn on/off notices sent on response
too /ctcp userlist commands.
* nwhois and chanst changed slightly. decreased memory usage slightly in
small channels. should gain even more in large channels. Changed NickList
structure to use a bit mapped flags for various on/off flags.
* added a sent_voice to the nicklist structure. should help prevent the
double voice on join for people on the userlist.
* we used to load ~/.bitchxrc and then load ~/.BitchX/BitchX.sav. We now do
this the opposite way around. allowing .bitchxrc to override settings in
the save file.
* fixed dns problem under SunOS 64bit hardware having todo with
alignment.Thanks to ankle for helping with this.
* changed NAT support a little. -Z will still set the NAT address for dcc's
but by request /set NAT_ADDRESS ip|host will set the address. This is
useful for those who do bouncing as it's only set once. -Z would use the
address you connect too IRC with, and when bouncing this is of course
wrong.
* added a %n for status bar. it returns the number of people on your notify
list on and off of irc in 2 numbers. There's no formatting.
* icetrey found bug in "/nops " would core client.
* power noticed that /window logfile only worked in current dir.
* annoying hard too detect window scroll bug noticed by several including
drsmoke found and fixed after someone was able too determine how to
duplicate it
* Added a check for ops and kick_ops in the flood protection.
* thrad@rocks.odu.neva.ru sent a patch concerning a custom charset which is
now added. #define CHARSET_CUSTOM in config.h
* found/fixed several bugs in window scrollback. very annoying.
* fixed a term problem with libtermlib which I introduced while attempting
too clean up some compile msg's.
* found as soon as 75p3 was released, was a little bug with having a /nick
command in your .bitchxrc
[Changes 75p2]
* recalled p2. too many broken things. Servers like hybrid6 causing problems
with the client as well. Had too change a few commands too understand a
few things that the new server seems to have broken.
* singe added a command /mtopic which Mhacker had requested for setting the
topic on ALL channels which you are op'd in.
* added a NAMES_COLUMNS variable which changes the number of names
displayed. Liam Quin requested this.
* fixed epic's /help so it works again.
* epic4nr16 changes merged in. This includes the key binding code.
* fixed a few problems with window_level which was an int, but should have
been a unsigned long.
* Added a debugging window. If you /set debug will make ALL output from the
client's debugger appear on a hidden window. All normal output will
appear in the proper windows. DEBUG takes several parameters. COMMANDS,
EXPANSIONS, TCL, FUNCTIONS, ALIAS, HOOK, VARIABLE. /set -debug will clear
this. ALIAS will debug specific alias's, which are specified with
/debug name. They can be removed with /debug -name
* fixed up userhost_ban() and various /ban /kick functions which were having
trouble with nicks with a \ in them.
* DEFAULT_FONT was not working like it was supposed too... the exec needs
the args split up instead of what we were doing.
* fixed problem in get_window_bound_channel() and a NULL pointer.
* Added a /spam command which takes a channel name. If compares the channel
name with all other channels producing a list of nick@userhost's who are
common on both channels.
* ruibarreiros@usa.net sent some patches for PTnet commands to be added.
His patch was much simpler when added a little differently so he might
not recognize his work. A #define was added to config.h for enabling
this WANT_CHAN_NICK_SERV.
* server splits in rapid succession could cause a mass kick too occur. We
now do a little differant order of events within p_channel() and
add_to_channel()
* Really really fixed AUTO_RECONNECT so that if it's off, not even a timed
auto reconnect to the server will happen.
* Added timestamp logging in the /lastlog. -time will turn it off. There's
also a /fset format_lastlog for output formatting. time in seconds is the
first arg.
* Robohak noticed a problem with /exec - and no flags given.
* added /cdcc on/off commands. This will turn cddc on and off
* ajoin with a key was not being re-loaded properly from a BitchX.sav
* svobodam@eva.vsp.cz sent in some patches for bx.. Specifically adding
ircnet support. His patch for lame_ident's was already implemented. Added
some ircnet servers.
* some changes to the functions $opensocket(). Added a NOTIFY param as the
third arg, default is line mode SOCKET reading. This changes the behaviour
of the socket. instead of the SOCKET, hook returning the info, another hook
SOCKET_NOTIFY is sent instead. IT's upto the script in this case too read
the socket. So either a $readsocket() or a $readchar() can be used to read
the info from the socket. params on the hooks were changed to be a little
more sane. "socketnum servername port flags" for SOCKET_NOTIFY and
"socketnum servername port string" for SOCKET.
* another major in-compatibility in scr-bx added.. Make sure you update
scr-bx. This one adds connection cookies. Without the cookie, you can't
connect to a detached bx.
* /window 2 triple on was coring the client when window 2 was a hidden
window. this might have effected other commands as well.
* bug in wset pointed out by void fixed.
* make configure check for in_systm.h in netinet and sys directories.
* added multi-play to internal amp module. quoted filenames are played one
after another.
* small patch for HPUX modules. author of the patch said that he required
a additional -DHPUX on the CFLAGS
* small bug in tab completions fixed. Added #chan completion into tab
handling
* cosmetic changes to /cdcc involving the help.
* Robohak found and supplied a patch for the new /set mangle routines. Same
patch applies to epic.
* away msg log removal broken when using /back.
* added a new /cset LAME_IDENT for turning off the ban/kick on lame chars in
the ident. seems some servers all this shit.
* Robohak found and fixed two problems in $winitem().
* had a crack at fixing the term init problem when you change term sizes.
this is not gonna be easy. currently it works. but it's a real kludge and
not totally 100%. ie term types have to be the same. xterm != vt100.
Changes required too scr-bx so the console size can be passed. This makes
scr-bx in-compatible with older scr-bx's
* a few small changes made too detachcmd(). we now remove the
~/.BitchX/screens file on a TERM signal. This helps when reattaching to a
cron'd BitchX process. We can use the same cron script as an egg.
* re-wrote whokill. /whokill pattern pattern pattern :reason will match
the patterns and buffer the kills. on end, it then kills in groups to
help prevent flooding of the oper. Added NUM_KILLS variable. Requested
by thetaz a dalnet oper. EfNet only allows one kill per KILL.
* -r filename will now accept a path/filename as well as just a filename.
* potential problem with a mode change corrected. This would cause the
client to become desynced from the actual server modes..
/c -lk-oo test nick nick1 too demonstrate. Thanks too SideWnder for this.
* ignoring ctcp no longer ignore's quits. First mentioned by Hyriluk
* removed FORMAT_USERS_BOT. it was redundant.
* added FORMAT_USERS_TITLE. default for FORMAT_USERS FORMAT_USERS_SHIT
changed
* changed the split list so it's server dependant. This way, the list will
still work on multiple servers.
* some problems in the shitlist now fixed. Also added new functionality.
if a nick is on the channel and the shitlist is added, they are
immediately banned and kicked. if they are unshit'd, and the ban is on
the channel the ban is removed as well. The following types of bans are
allowed - nick, nick!user nick!user@host, user@host.
* error in nicklist hash causing core found. $checkuser(blah *) doesn't
core now.
* 471-476 numerics moved. these CAN hurt internal structures.
* substr, rsubstr, getopt, isaway and nohighlight functions added.
* possible timer bug found/fixed.
* function for collecting number of users, written by Mhacker.
* minor changes made to nick completion.
* added a new hook MODULE, which can be called from dll modules and
interface with scripts. for example, amp, returns a "AMP PLAY name" on
start, a "AMP CLOSE name" on end, "AMP ERRROR name" and "AMP ID3 params".
* auto_response should be a bool on/off instead of a int. default it too on
* fixed a problem in the autobot module. should have been u->host
* kopz notice that dcc min speed was not working.. fixed. Also modified
/cdcc minspeed so that it accepts 2 arguements. a minspeed and a timeout.
* Cset queuing is now fully implemented. You can even specify a cset in
your .bitchxrc file. It will be queued up until you join that channel.
* more modifications to $aliasctl(). a PMATCH param can be specified which
will search for wildcarded matches. MATCH does exact char matching.
* HARD_UH_NOTIFY is gone. along with it went NOTIFY_SIGNON_UH and
NOTIFY_SIGNOFF_UH hooks. FORMAT_NOTIFY_SIGNON_UH FORMAT_NOTIFY_SIGNOFF_UH
is gone as well. Userhost notification is now the default. /notify can now
accept a nick!user@host. All this means is that unless the userhost
matches, this notify will not display. Some notify problems found and
fixed.
* $getcset(var #chan value) will set a new value and return the old.
* Power found a problem with $winitem().
* Nuke found a solution for the problem with win95 and color. turns out that
ansi.sys scroll region, doesn't scroll the color. stupid... Anyways, we
changed to a direct windows function for scrolling a region and problem
is now solved.
* replaced the dcc_*_func with something more generic. a
add_dcc_bind("type", "modname" init_func, open_func, input, output,
close_func);
type is a char str defining the new dcc type.
modname is the name of the module. for use when unloading.
init_func is a function that is called when this ctcp type is
recieved.
open_func is a function that is called when the dcc is open'd.
input is a function that should be called when there is data ready.
output is a function to call when you send data.
close_func is a function to call when the dcc is to be closed.
we could actually replace internal routines with ones that are wanted.
each of the above functions should return a int value. in some cases this
value is ignored. but the input/output routines do NOT ignore this.
* change /dc to not chat yourself. Also changed /dcc chat to ignore your own
nick.
* small change to $glob() to fix a memleak.
* more changes to tab_completion.
* added the ability for /scan to accept a wildcard nick!user@host to search
for. so /scan *!*@*.com
* Implemented a queued server send system for use in cdcc.
/set QUEUE_SENDS #, where number is the number of seconds to wait.
* fixed up core problem with notify.
* merged in epic4 pre2.001nr-3 and partial pre2.001nr2 patches.
* remerged in the OS/2 pm port changes.
* added a CTCP userlist flag. which allows ctcps on certain ones when
cloaked
* forgot about DCC_PROC for modules. added remove procedure.
* found bug with numeric 464.
* humble contributed a color change to bx. in config.h add a #define HUMBLE
just before the #include "color.h" and it will be enabled as the default.
* added a $longcomma() which takes a long number, and formats it with
comma's
* possible fix for core on netsplits with a * in them.
* added a couple of output replacement hooks for dcc and server connections.
serv_output_func, serv_input_func, dcc_input_func and
dcc_output_func can be defined within a module to replace the normal
dgets() and write() functions. This paves the way for secure
dcc/server connections. serv_output_func = some_new_output; in your
module.
* new TAB_COMPLETION binding created. A FORMAT_COMPLETE also added for
display purposes. This new bind does alot more than the old TAB_MSG bind.
commands currently specifically handled with the new tab complete are,
MSG/EXEC/DCC/LOAD/SERVER/LS
- With nothing on the line, we cycle through the
msg buffer nicks. if there are none, then the list of channel
nicks is displayed.
- if we start typing a nick, then matching channel nicks are
displayed. if there's one and only one, then it will be
placed on the input line
- "/msg " will use the tab buffer, or if that's empty then
we use channel nicks. placing a partial nick, will match
that nick from either.
- "/exec [pattern]" will attempt to match a filename. if no
path is specified, then your $HOME directory is assumed.
if you use / then we can match directories. A * is implied
when matching, so you don't have to supply one.
- "/dcc send nick filename". depending on where you press
the tab will determine what is done on the matching. if it's
at the nick then tab/chan nick matching is done. if it at
the filename, then DCC_DLDIR is used for matching.
specifying a / means look in a dir other than DCC_DLDIR.
this new tab_completion will also fill in the the input buffer with
the most number of chars that are common from the resulting match.
* Added a -ALL flag to xquotecmd to send to all connected servers.
* found and fixed a problem with timed_server() which was causing a odd
coredump with is.bx.
* modified $aliasctl() for command globbing and assign globbing.
$aliasctl(assign/local/alias/command get/set/match what);
command globbing is a match only operation.
local assigns don't make sense in a match operation.
This will however return all matching assign's/alias's/commands.
The "what" has a appended * so you if you don't specify
a wildcard. Contributed patch to epic.
* added /clear -scroll for cleaning out the scrollback buffer.
* the away msg is resent when we reconnect or timeout from a server. client
no longer resends the away msg to your channels.
* format_server_notice changed. and more server notices now use the
server_prompt variable
* Small change made to bx to support NAT. Added -Z flag to enable a userhost
on connect to the server. This sets the address to use for dcc transfers.
supposedly this is enough to get by the NAT server.
* # comments supported in .ircservers, ircII.servers etc. when found, we
truncate the line at the #.
* added back in, dcc renumbering code. Possible though I didn't catch all
the exits.
* configure --with-tcl patch added. This makes the configure script #define
WANT_TCL in defs.h instead of editing the Makefile. Allows modules to be
compiled with tcl/non-tcl support as well.
* window logfile will now strip certain chars from the name and replace with
'-'. This is so that nicks with "|\/:" don't cause problems in any of the
clients but specifically with the win95/nt OS2 ports
* Added 2 new hooks. LEAVE_ME is hooked when we part a channel under our
own power. CHANOP is hooked when we gain ops in a channel.
* $dccitem() which will return information based on the passed in dcc number
or socket number. args are a number (dccitem) or a #number (socketnum).
$0 type
$1 nick
$2 status
$3 start time
$4 start position for resume/reget/resend
$5 bytes recieved
$6 bytes sent
$7 filesize
$8 filename
$9 socket number of this connect
$10 server
* $winitem() added which is compatible in most respects with openirc's
version. if %num then num is a window refnum. just a number then it's the
num'th window in the list.
$0 refnum
$1 name or <none>
$2 server number
$3 current channel or <none>
$4 query nick or none
$5 waiting channel or <none>
$6 <none> (oirc has menu name)
$7 1 visible 0 non-visible.
$8 # of columns
$9 # of rows
$10 reserved
$11 reserved
$12 reserved
$13 reserved
$14 reserved
$15 logfile name or none
$16 L if logging enabled, "" always apart of string
$17 n if nicklist.
$18-$19 reserved
$20+ window level
* new flag to /clear -scrollback which will clear the scrollback buffer as
well as the window. /clear -scrollback -all works for all windows.
* $chanmode() extended. $chanmode(#chan #) where # can be 0 normal, 1 bans,
2 ban whoset time, 3 exemptions for TS4.
$chanmode(#bitchx 1) -> "*!*@*.aol.com"
$chanmode(#bitchx 2) -> "*!*@*.aol.com elmer 9123000"
* $channicks() and $chanusers() can accept one more param. This is the sort
type to use for call. types of sorting are 0 normal, 1 none, 2 nick,
3 host, 4 time, 5 ip if available.
* NICK_COMPLETION_LEN added from a patch by by-tor
* some buffer modifications to reduce memory usage.
* some old function unused removed.
* old prototypes found and removed as well as unneeded ones.
* /kb fixed to not send -o the nick, as they are already kicked.
* modified module loading to make it possible to load on alot more systems
that don't have -rdynamic flag for exporting symbols. Makes the client
250k smaller in size as well. Shouldn't impact memusage at all. Module
interface changed though to make this possible. a pointer to a list of
functions is passed into the _Init function as well as the pointer to the
command table. These functions can now be accessed using a file with
"alot" of defines in it. modval.h created for this purpose. Internal
functions could possibly be replaced using this method as well.
* Robohak contributed a patch to function_msar() which should concievably
fix the memleak in it.
* Robohak reported a coredump in p_topic(). should be fixed. looks like a
really desynced condition could possibly exist that might cause a core
dump. ie join a channel, and a topic change appears immediately after.
* added /set cdcc on/off for turning your cdcc off.
* getsets() leaking memory. drendite found this. hops version also leaks.
* fixed small problem whitedrgn found with hooking 364.
* seems that /oper <enter> <enter> would core the client.
* small patch to p_quit() logmsg() needs the channels even when ignored.
* small problem someone noticed with /quit random msgs and /set log on.
* changes to convert_output_format() in an attempt at a speedup.
* dcc closeall seg fixed.
* Added function to return what the client currently thinks the channel
topic is $topic() or $topic(#channel)
Changes in BitchX 75p1
* my fix to msar() was wrong.
* found and fixed a dcc problem with a rejected dcc.
* epic pre1.400 changes merged.
* scr-bx modified. internal /detach modified to go with it. Added a HUP
signal which will hangup the session.
* bug with orignick in .bitchxrc found.
* documentation for client plugins started.
* removed Ctrl-Z when detached.
* added -HUP signal. to detach an attached client. Changed signal handling
when we have a detach client.
* Found and fixed several small memory leaks when /unloading a script.
We now remove all arrays and fsets when unloading.
* Added a plugin hook for window commands.
* Added a plugin hook for a output procedure. It replaces ALL output's.
* Set message_from() in chanwall to show too LOG_WALL.
* BitchX.url buffer was 2048 and a CTOOLZ_DIR path greater than this would
overfill the buffer.
* Added URLGRAB hook which is activated on url's and ftp's. Added USERS_IP
hook for display of users ip in /user -ip display
* Fixed term handling of ctrl chars on the input prompt.
* Fixed configure option for with-maildir handling.
* Added $t to return the name of the currently running alias.
* Changed /load to support loading of .so files instead of using /loaddll.
* Added a timeout to dcc sends that are inactive. remains to be seen if this
will be effective.
* Added a default case for switch(). there can only be one default case in a
switch statement. now switch() works just like the c version.
* extremely lame buffer overflow bug on startup. who would attempt to
exploit themselves? uzfopen() was the culprit in this case though. and
it's used it alot of various file opening functions.
* small modification to real_file_send() so that FileBuf is searched for the
wildcard instead of filename. This allows ~ftp/*.zip to be used.
* after a little hair-pulling, mirc dcc resumes are now supported. Damn
khaled, why not send back the filename instead of that lame "file.ext"
* Silly bug with dcc resend/resume filesize.
if (numbytes == (filesize - offest)) then close the file. Because
otherwise we hang around waiting for the end and cause a little cpu usage.
* FORMAT_WHOIS_SIGNON != FORMAT_NOTIFY_SIGNON in notify.c.
Changes in BitchX 75 July 1 1998
added $b variable.
changed strip_ansi() to strip out chr(155) chr(11) and chr(8)
Xecho -s added.
window new_hide added.
fixed +c channel mode core.
fixed history command.
Added a /paste command. it will take a range of number and optionally a
nick or channel to send to... /paste 1-5 [-win #] [<nick|#chan>]. The paste
buffer is from the bottom up.
bhelp is spruced up somewhat. The internals were completely re-written using
normal c instead of the array functions. /bhelp -dump added, which will
reload a help file(main reason for the rewrite). Added a -RELATED field in
the help file (first word on the line). Found and fixed a small memory leak
with this as well (return from the array function was not free'd).
Showidle command modified. we can now sort the nicks based on time, host,
nick or none. default is by nick. ex. /showidle -sort time
Added a auto nslookup of all nicks when we join a channel. Added a IP ban
option for /bantype. Also modified ban_it() to accept an ip if passed, or it
uses the "Better" bantype if not. /set auto_nslookup determines whether this
is active or not. /user -ip will show the ips of the users. /user -ip -op
etc....
A matching lame nick would kick yourself.
set for MIRCS and set for DISPLAY_ANSI have been fixed and updated greatly.
formats of various types are replaced with a appropriate default formats.
Script writers are going to hate this as I overwrite any changed formats
with defaults. I'll have to see about some method of allowing both to exist.
Paste command fixed. some lameness on my part was causing the paste to be
backwards.
New epic who code is a little buggy yet in bx... details need to be worked
out. Assume it's parameters to the do_hook(). in the hook array.
Added two new command line options. -A for no startup ansi and -N for no
auto-connect on startup.
Fixed client core when no default servers defined.
Fixed ison and waitcmd() coredumps when no default servers defined. (more of
these are lurking).
Finally fixed /finger so it works.
Changed the way we set the cloaked client process.. Still need some
auto-detection routines in configure though.
Forgot about dcc_resend() when adding "filename with space" capabilities to
dcc sends. cdcc probably needs to be done as well.
Renamed CLONE_READ to SOCKET. Revamped the socket code considerably.
Fixed minor annoyance of /bk not working in new alpha's
More socket improvements. sockets will now timeout after CONNECT_TIMEOUT
seconds or 120. when we scan sockets, if there is no open sockets dropout of
the scan.
Possible fix to dcc_Fast.
Fixed core with /bhelp -dump when there's no help file in memory.
Possible fix for kick_if_banned and numerical ips. as well as a core problem
related to this.
Possible fix for a core when someone joins a channel and you get kicked.
It's now possible to have $glob() return filenames with spaces in them.
Things like this are now possible... (alias from |fingers|)
alias testarray {
fe ($glob(\*)) ii {
@ setitem(files_array $numitems(files_array) $ii)
}
}
#$getitem(files_array num)
FORMAT_ACTION_CHANNELS added. hopefully we got the right methods for
display'g actions.
if (is_channel)
if (current_channel)
if (auto_reply && is_on_user_list)
FORMAT_ACTION_USER_AR
else if (auto_reply)
FORMAT_ACTION_AR
else if (is_on_user_list)
FORMAT_ACTION_USER
else
FORMAT_ACTION_CHANNEL
else
if (auto_reply && is_on_user_list)
FORMAT_ACTION_USER_AR
else if (auto_reply)
FORMAT_ACTION_OTHER_AR
else if (is_on_user_list)
FORMAT_ACTION_USER
else
FORMAT_ACTION_OTHER
else
FORMAT_ACTION
Fixed small bug in the notify. We sent out the notifies when we recieve
jumeric 250. but, the notify list was improperly built.
433/438 numerics changed to add the server to the hook. $0 is the server.
dcc.c completely rewritten to use the new socket code. non-blocking sends
are used if possible. FBIONREAD is used to find how much information to read
from a socket. bot_link.c is not finished. DCC_RAW is not finished. Code is
alot less verbose than before. arguements to all the send/get/resend/reget
commands are all the same in the possibilities. Each dcc can have it's own
blocksize. DCC_TIMEOUT is used to specify the timeout for each dcc. DCC_PROC
in module.c is actually implemented (might even work). dcc's are much faster
now...
Small bug in $writesocket() found and fixed for shade.
Changed /wii and friends to support multiple nicks on the command line.
added -topic to /paste command.
Added +format_xxx variable support. if you /fset +format_xxx "some text"
that variable is now a format variable and $format_xxx $fparse(format_xxx)
etc will work on with it. You can re-define ALL the format variables using
this method, although there could be a speed decrease using it... This might
actually be a good place for a hash table instead of a linked list.
Found a problem with check_serverlag() where it was possible to flood
ourselfs off the server with ping requests.
Merged in the changes from epic4pre100.
An auto-away time bug and a msglog bug fixed in update_clock().
Merged in changes from epic4pre200.
Fixed a bug in skip_incoming_mirc() which could cause a lockup. Also fixed
this so that /set MIRCS works properly...
Channel cset queue setup. what does this mean? well we can now /cset
#channel we currently aren't on and add that channel to a queue. So when we
do finally join that channel, the queue'd csets are used. This allows us to
use csets from .bitchxrc or .ircrc files.
FromUserHost is set to empty_string at the end of the processing. This
should allow logmsg() to use $userhost() correctly.
Fixed small problem with spaces in filenames in a dcc. should work now.
A major incompatibility added. /on dcc_request used to return "SEND" as the
type of request for a file send. Personally I feel this should be "GET".
Added in epics style of ctcp booster for dcc's... what happens is this. If
you /dcc send or /dcc chat someone and that person happens to "miss" the
request because of a netsplit, we can /dcc send again and the request is
booster'd again instead of giving you an error about already existing and
ignoring. The warning is still given however.
Phucilage found an actual bug. /set scrollback was not doing what it was
meant todo.
Added USER_FLAG_OP and USER_FLAG_PROT which are run when the a userlist
person is op'd or a userlist person is kicked or banned.
Found bug in check_prot where a REOP is not possible. Found bug in delay_opz
for voiced users.
DavidW2 noticed a bug in the way that EXEC_EXIT was done.. m_strdup(logical)
was not good for the process structure.
Lame BlackJac decided that format_send_away was too plain so forced me to
add a new variable $u which is the time you set away in seconds since the
epoch , and change the format to incorporate it.
tsd!tsd@cal001307.student.utwente.nl pointed out that set_xterm_title()
wasn't following properly. Also added format_xterm_title format.
Added /dump fset which dumps all fsets and resets them to my defaults.
Added /dump wset which dumps the wsets for ALL windows and resets to my
defaults.
Added /dump cset which recreates the channel csets from the defaults in
/set
Problems with dcc resends fixed. involved quite a few changes in dcc.c.
Fixed problems with dcc % on status bar as well as fixed up numbers
displayed while in a dcc resenD on the /dcc list
Decided to use the screen buffer instead of the lastlog buffer in the /paste
command. This shouldn't mean too much for the casual user but internally it
means that what you want displayed is displayed. lastlog doesn't always have
everything logged in it.
[penix_(penix@pm6-24.kconline.com)] found a small problem with dcc causing a
coredump. several people had mentioned it..
After talking with Sheik, we decided to add a feature to the status bar
variables. you can now specify a "width" to print a variable. if %<.10>N for
example, the nick will take "at most" 10, and is space padded to 10. %<-10>N
will make it left justified. Currently there is no way to say %<-.10>N. This
will work for all status variables including the status line itself.
Added a $getflags(uh chan) function from sd-.
Added some new hooks. WHOLEFT_FOOTER, USERS_FOOTER, USERLIST_FOOTER,
STAT_FOOTER, SHOWIDLE_FOOTER, SHITLIST_FOOTER
One more change to dcc sends. removal of dcc_fast for now.
Added a configure option for specifying the mail directory.. --with-maildir
Added NUM_KICKS for the max kicks allowed in one kick...
Changed kickban() to modify the way that /bk and /kb are done. also allow
for /kb nick,nick1,nick2
Figured out what I'd done wrong in pastecmd().
dcc is working much nicer now. tdcc is not. Fixed a possible core if the
directory we are attempting to save too is non-existant or non-writable.
Possible core problem with scratch windows cured.
Possible fix for userlist when a channel is specified with a "*" in it. This
broke the auto-invite on notify feature.
Somes changes to tcl.c and a new tcl.o version is born. the alias var's were
not exported to tcl. Now _T (current_target) are available. Also get_var,
set_var, fget_var and fset_var are available.
The party line is now working with the new dcc code.
_]Nuke[_ is working on a OS/2 pm port of bx which will be an option while
compiling under OS/2.
Found fixed a off by one screen error which was causing problems on a
/window kill.
STATUS_UPDATE will be hooked anytime a status bar update is occuring.
DCC_UPDATE will be called when a dcc transfer is occurring at the same time
that the dcc status percentage is updated.
$randomnick() will take upto 2 args for initial len and max length of the
string.
With the help of Raistlin and neonapple a bug in the fix_status_buffer()
code was found and fixed. un-init'd variable was causing the problem
Xavvy requested a install_local which will install BitchX and some other
files for a local user. it checks and creates ~/bin and ~/.BitchX and then
copies and links the binary BitchX in ~/bin. Also we copy the various
BitchX.* files into ~/.BitchX for the user.
OS2 PM changes merged in. todo are multiple windows. added a configure
option --enable-pm for os2 PM support. Otherwise vio window support is
used.
Added support for identwd by whitedrgn. It's a more configurable identd.
Fixed problem with bk and it's mesg about kicking yourself.
Small bug with /quote used in a ctcp hook found and fixed.
New file added. tcl_public.c which set's up the tcl commands within bx.
source will be distributed for it.
Whoopsy misplaced /clones. also broke auto_away. fixed.
Changed longip() to actually convert a long to a ip and added iplong() which
takes an ip and converts it to a long.
Added a small change to add_to_channel() in names.c. IF the channel is not
on your list, but is in the whowas list, the nicks are added to the whowas
nick buffer. This will allow us to keep a list of nicks from a join to a
channel when we are kicked immediately before the sync.
a /user -kick would core dump.
Some of the relevant parts of epic4 pre300 have been incorporated. His
server re-connect needs alot more work than bx's
Added socks4/5 firewall traversal code directly into bx itself.
/set SOCKS_HOST and /set SOCKS_PORT as well as command line
argument -S added. If SOCKS_HOST is not set, then no traversal will be
attempted. As soon as it is set however, then we will attempt to use the
SOCKS4/5 firewall on the next reconnect to the irc server. No idea what
effect this will have on dcc's or other tcp related things.
Changed $channel() to return info about if the user is on your userlist or
your shitlist. & and ! respectively.
found and fixed several more memory leaks. Added a delete_all_arrays() to the
/dump all command. Added /dump array command as well.
Loosing my HD didn't help my source tree any. still a few "weird" characters
scattered around the source tree.
for now we can use the new /detach [password] command to detach a bx client
from the terminal. you can then later log back into the client using
BitchX -R [tty] [pass]. This is still rudimentry and still buggy
at the moment. kasper has agreed to write a frontend program to replace the
BitchX -R so we aren't running 2 copies of bx. This will reduce memory
requirements (ie two copies). Password is also encrypted as well using a
random seed.
Rain noticed a problem with xecho -level. missing break was causing trouble.
Created a new pgm while waiting for kasper to create it. it's a mini-screen
attach program for bx's internal /detach. it's called scr-bx. -h gives help
on this useful little program.
BitchX -B mode changed. it no longer does what it used too. It now detaches
from the terminal and runs in the background (like before) but, we can now
re-attach to that session unlike before Thanks too a chat with kasper we now
have a small program for re-attaching to the backgrounded program..
Changes in BitchX 74p3
Oper'g is now more safe. the oper password is not kept in core. it is
removed as soon as possible from any place where it might be kept. ie
do_hook(), vsend_to_server(), parse_line(), parse_command(), oper(),
oper_password_recieved() all memset the buffer's used if this is a oper up
command. As well the history() function does not save the /oPer command.
A bunch of various fixes included.
$exec() will no longer work from a format.
change to /window server so that LOG_NONE is set instead of LOG_ALL
$getinfo() $setinfo() broken and fixed
/ig + host no longer cores the client because of a typing error.
multiple nick changes within nickflood time would trigger for us. we would
kick ourselves after so many nick changes.
Habit helped find a problem with the userlist looping on a /save. It seems
that attempting adding a channel which occured at the end of the hashlist
would cause the client to lockup while saving a userlist... This is a long
standing bug that was difficult to find at best.
Server lag is now sent and calculated for all connected servers.
Fixed kick of self when /ctcp version yourself.
mk and lk are fixed now. in fact, they roq.
rale sent me a patch to make bx compile under OpenNT gcc environment. Patch
is included and here are some notes from him
# Known Problems:
# The configure script screws up when it makes source/sig.inc,
# -You need to remove the second line of this file when configure finishes
# /exec doesnt work
# /window create doesnT work
Added a small change to $fparse() which will add/del a variable if it's not
found in the list. it's actually assigned. so it will not appear in the
/fset but will appear in the /assign
With your userlist off, ctcp op and unban commands were still able to work.
this is a defiency and is now fixed.
Patch from Pharos(hitui@tty005.ims-1.com for making the
rename_file() return a filename with a number instead of a letter.
this affects dcc auto transfers.
Patch from FreeLSD <dimka@solo.telekom.ru> for translation.
/toggle changed so that the /on set is used for screen output.
possible fixed for shitty compress_modes() function. This thing was a huge
memory leak.
Possible solution for filenames with spaces in them. you need to quote the
filename ie /dcc send nick "filename with spaces" or
"dir/filename with spaces". The filename is converted to a name with _'s.
Christian Deimel (defender@gmx.net) sent me a patch that implements random
irc names. /ircname with no args will set the ircname to a randomly chosen
one for the next server connect. BitchX.ircname has the random irc names.
Changes made to /window level +/- is now allowed.
Modified server reconnect strategy. /set MAX_SERVER_RECONNECTS defines how
many times we will attempt to reconnect to a server.
more fixes to compress_modes.
%- is now safe as a status format variable.
Major internal changes for the status bar code. %{0}S specifies status
expando map 0 (gives server), %{1}S would be map 1 and is undefined at the
moment. I do have %{1}0-9 defined. which gives us the old %!10 method of
specifying status_user10. STATUS_USER was renamed to STATUS_USER0 to help.
$n will return the current server network if known.
$getcset(var [#channel]) returns the CSET variable for either the current
channel or the channel specified.
$getfsets() or $getfsets(match) will return all or just matching formats.
Added a field to the cdcc packs for the time added. it's displayed when
someone requests /msg nick cdcc info #
$listarray(name) will list all elements in an array with "name"
New cset/set CTCP_FLOOD_BAN will ban a nick using the current bantype
that is currently set. This works for channel and private ctcp floods.
epic 0.49 changes merged in. along will some fixes for brokenness.
Changes in BitchX 74p2
notify_mark() coredump on undernet fixed.
p_invite() coredump fixed if your not on a channel when invited to a new
one.
Small cosmetic fixes to convert_flags() and /rel
/j #chan will now reset the prompt to the new channel. This only occured
when we were already on that channel.
the /ftp command would seg if a bad host was given
$s returns the port of the server.
Changes from epic 0.36 and 0.37 added. These ARE major changes.
Added new fset FORMAT_OV which is the status format for the oper view.
Command /addword fixed.
Couple of minor fixes for /window split on /window triple etc added.
Fixed expr.c 409 local alias problem.
Fixed not on channel bug with /ban nick
KinSlayer
Fixed up possible problem with cores and windows. rejoining a channel in a
non-active window had the possibility of causing a coredump.
$msar() which is a modified sar(). it will do multiple sar's on a string.
the command char cannot be used in the string.
SERVER_PROMPT fixed up to use cparse() style formatting.
Added /cdcc secure which allows you to add passwords to packages offered.
New /on FTP for the ftp client output.
By-Tor made a patch that uses strstr() to help with nick completion. so for
example |By-tor| is the nick, you can now do By-t: and it will complete.
Added most changes upto epic 0.41.
Added a patch from Khinsanth which fixes -H as well as added
CHANGE_NICK_ON_KILL.
New keybind BLINK.
New Variable BLINK_VIDEO
New /window query which can accept -cmd
New functions $leftpc(), $mask(), $querywin() replaces $winquery(),
$uname()
New argument to /xecho -nolog
New /cdcc secure added which adds/removes a password for your entire cdcc
package list.
Bk found a invite bug.
Number-6 fixed a problem that BSDi seemed to have with dcc's of 0 size.
SellFone found a bug that was created when [nutbar] insisted that /Set
server_prompt be able to parse % color codes.
I broke sort() when patching in epic changes.
Green found a problem with /adduser -whatever looping forever.
Raistlin found a problem with -L removed the - that was being appended to
the script name. .bitchxrc overrides .ircrc files as a side note.
fset can now be hooked just like /set is.
Sping now works again. We now use a slightly modified version of old bx
technique and new.
cdcc secure password is stored in the .cdcc.save file.
Small bug in /hostname on linux systems prevented display of the virtuals.
Changes in BitchX 74p1
Coredump problem with timers and windows fixed. Possible problem with
set_current_screen() repaired.
Abnormal usage with dcc chat's cleared up.
Found/fixed problem with /url grab on
Added IOPS for immediate ops. nick needs to have OPS and IOPS for this to
work.
Timecop noticed that +Window new 10 times would core a client.
We handle a few more Dalnet specific numerics. Some extra /set's added to
support them. Check out /fset format_whoi
exec now closes ALL descripters on exit so we no longer run out of file
handles after 150-limit files.
|by-tor| requested that if there is no current channel but there is a query
then /ver and /p should be sent to that nick. Added a check for
get_target_by_refnum() in ping_cmd and ver_cmd.
Phucilage updated the BitchX.help file for us.
Changes in BitchX 74
New userlist is hashed into 3 tiers ala CToolz.
tier1 is based on hostname with no wildcards.
tier2 is based on channel with no wildcards.
tier3 is standard linked list.
with many user's on the userlist we have increased lookup speed of a user on
the list significantly. This in turn speeds up the client. Sheik and I
worked on this.
New flag based userlist system.
VOICE, OPS, BAN, UNBAN, INVITE, DCC, KILL, DIE, FLOOD, BOT
REOP, DEOP, KICK, PBAN, PINVITE
Predefined combinations
FRIEND = VOICE,OPS,UNBAN,INVITE
MASTER = VOICE,OPS,BAN,UNBAN,INVITE,DCC,FLOOD
OWNER = MASTER,KILL,DIE,BOT
Combinations of these flags can be combined ie VOICE,INVITE,UNBAN
so we now have the following
/adduser nick #channel voice,invite,unban
Hostnames are added with the exact hostname unless a nick!user@host is used
instead of just the nick. This is so that we can take advantage of the new
userlist system
New Compile time defines to remove un-used portions of BX. Look in
include/config.h
Added the ability to unload a dll after it's loaded. /unloaddll dllname
Added a RAW_PROC for dll's. This is hooked in even before a numeric proc and
can be used in place of a numeric proc. The Raw proc is a hash'd list
for a speed increase in large loaded DLL's. Numeric procs will change to
this format as well.
Fixed up tier3 remove proc to also check on a strcmp() of the host.
the command /unuser -ALL required this small change.
New screen/window code from epic merged in. /clear works now.
Added new %a aop %s shitlist %h hacking %u userlist %b bitchmode variables
for the status bar. These are single char flags. Changed status_away to have
the away msgcount in it.
Fixed /reinit /reinitstatus so it doesn't blank the statusbar on a Ctrl-L.
Reduced memory requirements by a small amount by reducing some static
buffers.
Status bar repeating chars should now work as advertised.
$winnames(refnum) will return a list of all names of nicks specific to that
window. nicks are added with the /window add command
Corrected output of status line. damn extra strmcpy()'s creeped in. This
might also account for some strange coredumps as well as some strange screen
behaviour
For some damn reason we forgot about /unuser :)
Added -ppp to /adduser to add hostnames in the original fashion with
*.host.edu
Improved /swatch commanD somewhat. This allows /set swatch to save what the
user would like to server watch.
Changed split_up_line() to recognize a , or a space as a word separator.
Merged in changes from epic4 026. Some changes backed out because they do
not work. ie -%> which hop had reworked from my original patch.
New load code broke send_text. load_depth of -2 was not a good thing.
Another %c%s type bug found and fixed.
Changed format_away to include is away: for those that wanted it.
Found small bug in /readlog which was causing the odd occurances in away log
reading.
Fixed small bug in /load which was causing loTza trouble.
dcc status bar bug I introduced fixed.
timer command changed to allow multiple args. This is not very robust, just
a quick hack to allow /timer -rep -1 -ref blah to work.
Added /dcc help command. Also /window help
Fixed /sping to do the right thing if a server doesn't exist.
Changed %s to %f on the status bar added %s as a modified %S
Fixed load parser load_depth != -1 for non-interactive commands so make sure
and check that in parse_line(). Prevail suddenly almost works now.
Passwords are now checked if passed into find_bestmatch().
Reason scripts were a little broken if a /* appears somewhere on a real
line, is that /set comment_breakage defaults to off. We should set this on.
Possible fix for window/channel chatter going to wrong windows. Added
win_channel_swap_ptr() on swap_window() as we need to keep the
channel->window ptr's current and swap_window() does a nasty thing.
switch_channels() rewritten and everything seems to work. add_to_screen()
modified slightly to send text to the correct window/channel.
Added slight modification to cannot_join_channel() so output goes to the
current window.
Krome found a little bug with /windows and channels. lookup_channel() needed
to check the return from get_channel_by_refnum() before passing it on to
stricmp(). This also pointed out that /window kill doesn't update the input
prompt at all.
Added /dcc help and /window help. Filled out help for these commands as
well.
The command table from the server has been put into a hashed list. /debugmsg
will show some simple stats on this.
Modified the server msg to use a hashtable. /debugmsg will display some
statistics
Modified /on # to use a hash table for the numeric and then a linked list
for the actual hooks. This should speed up numeric lookups considerably.
Note: some of the following commands are a part of openchat irc client by
mikh.
Added $isconnected(<refnum>) to tell a scripter if we are connected to a
server or not.
Added /evalserver <refnum> <command> which will send a command to a
specifIc server.
Modified $myservers(0/1) to return either the names of the servers or the
refnum of the server. default is too use the name of the servers but a 1
will cause it to reply with the refnum of the connected servers
Added /purge name which will completely remove all traces of a
variable or variable structure. Keep on eye on this as it might also be a
memory leak.
Found that $[3]#function(params) was not working as it should. Fixed. Epic
has this same problem.
Added /timer -update refnum which will update a timer specified by refnum
to a new timeout or new command.
The /window command now accepts as a first param the window refnum wanted.
So /window 2 double on will turn on double status on the 2nd window.
Added new function called $fparse() which will take a format name and params
and evaluate it just like the client does. so $fparse(format_ctcp panasync
ctcp ctcp) returns the parsed format for format_ctcp.
Added hash'd function list routine. First time a function is used the
functions list is hashed. From that point on, instead of searching the
entire list everytime a function is called, a hash of the name is done and
the lookup becomes very fast.
Seems that /ctcp nick ident and returning the access denied wasn't such a
good idea, so I removed the access denied notice.
The /on FLOOD has been modified to include the type of flood detected. Also
the channel or a 0 is sent in order to detect if the flooding took place on
a channel.
Attempted fix foR that odd error that joining a channel with a { or } in it
caused.
REfixed my attempt at wierd channel names with {} in them. quoting # was
maybe not a good idea.
Added limited support for server groupings. ie /server [efnet] will attempt
to connect you to the first [efnet] server. .ircservers and config.h as well
as /server modified to support a server group name. .ircservers can use the
following syntax. server:port:password:nick:group or [group] on a single
line by itself to represent all the servers that follow upto the next
[group]. If any of the params from server:port:pass:nick:group are left out
then we do the following server::pass:nick:group or server:::nick:group
etc.
Fixed find_bestmatch() to not put the userlist entry into the nicklist if
the channel doesn't match. p_channel() will also reflect this small change
in that we no longer check for a channel_match().
A /xdebug would cause a coredump in add_to_display_list().
Added back in /lastlog -clear. This was removed because of the new display
code.
Added $getcdcc(#) which will return info on a specific pack number.
Found and removed a couple of small memory leaks.
argh. /stack on was very broken. might also be why scripts were loosing
memory all over the place lately. Working now.
Xterm and screen title now set on startup, join to channel and channel
switch.
Major memory leak foUnd and fixed. This should cause memory usage in certain
scripts to stabilize alot.
Ctrl-W-b needs fixing.
Small change to format_notify_signon_uh and format_notify_signoff_uh. We now
store the complete user@host internally instead of separately, meaning we
needed to change the format's as well. Yell at [nutbar] for this internal
change.
Fixed another memory leak in the alias parser in calling expand_alias();
Fixed one other memory leak with /stack push set in vars.c
Found one in send_text() and add_to_channel() from the whowas chan buffer.
Another in dcc othername was being m_sprintf() and m_strdup() if BROKEN_MIRC
was defined.
Another memory leak in dcc_really_erase(). Where the hell are all these
coming from.
URL grabber changed. We now keep a list in memory. We can use the new
command /url to manipulate this list.
/url http|ftp on|off
/url save|clear|list
With help from Rosmo BitchX has been ported to OS/2 vio window. It actually
runs better under OS/2 than under win95/nt.
Merged in changes from epic 032. Including one other patch for return
statements.
Merged in changes from epic 033 as well as fixing several bugs in epic 033.
Added TIMER_HOUR hook which should go off on a hourly basis only.
Added /cdcc stats
Modified getcdcc() to return number of packs available when getcdcc(0) is
used.
Various other fixes made.
Attempted fix for SunOS/AIX possibly others problems with /cset and friends.
AIX2 doesn't like WANT_DLL so we specifically undefine it in config.h
Couple of commands CONTINUE and CONNECT out of order. As well I forget
UNCLEAR_TEXT as a key binding.
Added sendcdcc() which accepts a nick and a pack number to send.
Added hook cdcc_send_nick which is called whenever someone requests a cdcc
pack. this can be used to keep stats on who's the top downloaders and stuff.
from, userhost, command, pack#, # of files, # of gets, filelist and desc
are all passed in. If the file is queued command is pre-pended with Q. For a
local send userhost is "unknown".
Cdcc now saves the type of send requested to the queue so that queued file
sends will follow the requested type.
Stack on was causing a problem in scripts using it.. Possibly fixed as
this alias no longer causes a core.
alias buggy if (![$0]) {echo use /buggy <nick>}{
fe (311 318) num {^stack push on $num}
^on ^311 * {@_n=[$1]}
^on ^318 * {fe (311 318) num {^stack pop on $num}}
^wi $0
}
The /toggle auto_reconnect was broken due to auto_rejoin.
due to complaints the xterm status bar change code is now a toggle.
And /wset status_f will now return all the status formats for that match.
73p2
Fixed ${format_version} for scripts.
Fixed status bar overwrite on long lines.
Fixed annoying problem with scrollback, using new epic display code.
Added new flood checking using hash'd lists instead of an array.
Other changes made for /set -format for compatibility.
a /cset in the .bitchxrc file would core.
window.c/status.c changed ala epic. My own modifications added for split
menu bar.
window split and window triple fixed up to work properly in epic's new code.
73 released on 09/08/97
Still a speeling error in commands.c /ight was in wrong place.
Added a /ctcp ident. User must have a password.
Slight fix in dcc.c involving read(). We should read the MAX_DCC_BLOCK_SIZE,
not just dccBlockSize().
Some possible overruns fixed in bot_link.c
Added Resume to /dcc help
Added two new status variables. %& and %| will display dcc stats and cdcc
stats.
dcc exempt +nick will add a nick to the autoget list. This list has nicks
that do not trigger dcc/cdcc flood protection and as well even if the dcc
autoget is off, the files will still be autogotten. Nicks are saved in the
BitchX.sav file.
addnoflood nick added. This nick will not trigger flood protection at all.
Changed /hostname for linux systems.
Added new /tcl bind type for hooks.
Fixed a problem with p_part() and send_2comm() which was causing segfaults
when leaving channels.
Some fixes from firebug incorporated into bx and passed onto epic.
A long standing bug in convert_output_format() %l fixed. Damn p++
Added $isignored(nick) which will check the ignorance list to see if that
nick is ignored.
Fixed a bug in the cdcc queue system which could core you.
in BOT_MODE a nick has to be on the userlist in order to have auto-chat
The cdcc queue should now be more respectful of the DCC_SEND_LIMIT
Also people requesting a remote queue list, will not recieve garbage back.
As well as fixing a potential core dump of the client.
Fixed some possible flood problems in cdcc. Only one mesg is send for a
queued file request or a full queue. Changed some msgs in cdcc.
More /toggle's added by request.
$checkshit returns more info now
output_line() make_status(), status_make_printable() modifed heavily.
do_unkey() didn't like NULL being passed into vsprintf() on SUN's
Added all ircII variables to tcl output. All except the FORMAT's
Fixed /toggle oper to actually do the toggle and window create. As well
toggle will take multiple args and toggle each of those.
New ctcp uptime will return the current uptime of the client.
chanst would core if you were not on a channel and didn't specify one on
the command line.
Some kinda souls noticed an extra d in the msg we send back when away.
$channel() or $channel(#chan) will return the channel nicks in a list with
a . - normal, @ - op, + - voice. if the user is an ircop then * is first.
Status bar ansi bugs fixed.
Kill parser for Operview rewritten in an attempt to make it process faster.
Fixed up a couple of minor glitches with /toggle /chanst /nwhois
Added bots and clients commands to tcl. tcl 1.3
Major changes to the output routines from epic. status bars/screen output
code has all been rewritten.
Fixed a small /back bug with the number of mesg's recieved while away
A new command /signore for ircops added. /set SHOW_ variables have now been
removed as redundant and unnessary. Some changes to the handle_oper_vision()
function were made.
Several fixes done on new epic scroll routines. add_to_window(),
split_up_line() and put_echo().
A new command which set's MSGLOG_LEVEL implemented. /awaylog will set what
we want to log in the away log. Started adding moRe logmsg()'s in the code.
Need to add some help for this command. /set format_msglog is used to define
what is put into the mesg log.
Ok, repeating timer added. /timer -rep 10 command will repeat the command
every 10 seconds until deleted.
FORMAT_TIMER modified to include Repeat as a Yes/No variable.
Renamed /signore to /swatch.
Changed /timer -rep to /timer -rep times where -1 will repeat forever, and
>1 number's will repeat times times. a 0 rep will do nothing. /timer -r
changed to /timer -ref to remove any ambiguity.
Bonehead mistake in ircaux strmcat/strmopencat fixed.
Fixed up $statsparse(%>%M) so it actually pads.
Getting ready to revamp the help system including /help. A possibility of
using the BitchX.help file internally.
Major revamp of /cset using Sheik's cset code. Added /wset to compliment
this.
Some memory leaks on the status bar fixed up. This may have been where we
were losing memory.
Modified /cset according to sheik to handle * and channel names. This same
thing can be applied to windows and window names. So /wset * status_Format1
will modify/display the status_format1 variable for displayed windows or
just for windows with certain names.
Fixed a bunch of complaints mainly todo with /cset /wset. msg counts when
/away were slightly borked as well. increased the alias cache to 30.
To see what this is do /alias /s .
Added /wilm /wiln for last message and last notice recieved whois
Fixed screen/status bar problem with long lines.
Changed check_channel_match() to use next_in_comma_list() which should make
it faster. Possible fix for ajoin of channel with keys.
Added /dump timer. Also changed /unload to dump the running timers.
Modifed /ov so that if the operview window is open we can /ov
hide/+hide/-hide this window at will
Recent changes in the way we handle /set ignore_time cause us to ignore
someone for 0 seconds. which in turn causes us to unigore immediately. So
check /set ignore_time it should be in seconds. as well check
pubflood_ignore_time
Fixed awaylog timestamping for good.
Added support for ircu's ># <# filter. /list -ircu -min # -max # *irc*
Support for this could be automated in scripts quite easily.
Fixed NICK statement usage in .bitchxrc or .ircrc files so a segfault
doesn't occur. If found all we do is copy this nick into the default
nickname statement.
Added /fset for the format variables. /set format still works (bonus) but a
/set will not display the format variables. /fset WILL replace /set format
in the future.
Added /set CLOCK_FORMAT which uses strftime() to set the clock format.
Re-arranged some source code. modules.c fset.c var.c.
Re-wrote /Fport to use non-blocking connects.
Found annoying bug with disappearing messages in rite() update_all_status().
recursive split_up_line() output_line() is a real no win.
A problem with excessively long lines found and fixed. Dcc chat messages
were not being displayed properly on send.
A couple of bugfixes for NT/95 Bitchx specific versions introduced.
72p1 released on 072097
Fixed a couple of SunOS bugs. /cdcc list and switching servers no longer
cores.
Fixed that annoying little problem with the status bar appearing during a
/exec or a /redirect. This bug appears in all clients that update the status
bar frequently (ie during dcc transfers and a status update).
bx-wall now uses format_bwall for output to you as well as incoming.
identd server built-in for win95/nt. Simple to code.
identd server removed from windows... Simple, but cygwin too buggy for now.
Added $winlen(opt_win_refnum) returns the length of a window.
Added -R -X and -Y flags to XECHO. basically does a direct screen write,
without logging. no update of the internal structures takes place. Ideas
from ShadowImg. -R is a Raw write, no cursor positioning is used.
STATUS_FORMAT2 changed slightly. Removed Aw from the format. Added
STATUS_MSGCOUNT to format the away msgcount variable.
Lotz of other bug fixes which I forgot to keep track of.
/dme and /qme commands added. /me is to a channel. /dme goes to the first
dcc chat found /qme is for a /query.
FORMAT_BWALL used in /wall for output.
/loadtcl and /tcl -file will now search the LOAD_PATH for tcl scripts to
load.
72 changelog
Little bug fixes in mail and in speeling mistakes I made. /set aop and /cset
aop were broke.
epic pre 0.38 patches incorporated into the client.
/lastlog -file filename support added.
/lastlog -clear to clear the lastlog buffer.
maybe fixed up /addidle and /unidle.
Added some epic pre 0.39 patches.
Rewrote /rel and friends. I think maybe they might actually even be usable
now. -kick, -wall, -notice, -msg, -wallop, -topic, -kill, -kboot and -list
are the flags for /rel*. Need to test each one as the formats will need to
be modified.
Fixed lagtime indicator. Seems we forget to check if the server was
connected or not.
Ctrl-F was not working at all. switch to split server.
Not that suicides count_ansi wasn't any good, but we have a internal
count_ansi() function already. $countansi() returns the number of ansi chars
that are in a string.
More /ignore types added. /ignore * quits fixed up to actually work. As well
parts, nicks, pongs and squits are implemented.
Started to change cdcc.c to allow packs for servers.
Small buglet with channel names with % in them. sprintf() was attempting to
translate that into valid variables and failing miserably. Only a few places
in the client needed to be changed to support the proper thing todo.
Small changes to convert_output_format() which allows limited recursion
levels. Hairy.
Small tcl changes. New bind check_help_tcl() which you can use to display
help for tcl / commands. The function name + _help is used to check for a
bind of that name. and it is then called with no parameters. tcl_versionstr
added to help alleviate some aggravation on what is the newest tcl.o file
for a system.
format_version has changed to include tcl and 1.0 if possible as params.
Hashed the channel's nicklist.
Hashed the whowas list of nicks.
Fixed /stub which wasn't working at all.
/tog disp_ansi now should do the correct thing with the status bars and
input prompt.
Several other problems fixed. most notable was the problem with scripts that
used $cparse() and the built-in exec protection in it. Source should now
compile either on unix or cygwin systems
/cdcc describe now works as advertised.
patch from Nimrod Zimerman to add a /set AUTO_COMP_CHAR variable. Setting
this variable defines the char to look for when using nick completion. If
set FORMAT_NICK_COMP is undefined then it is also used for display in the
channel. What follows is his description of how it works.
This input:
"Lon, What's going on with the Shadows?"
Will not be changed under usual condition.
However, after executing:
/SET AUTO_COMP_CHAR ,
(the comma above is part of the command!)
and:
/SET -FORMAT_NICK_COMP
The same input will be completed to form:
"Londo, What's going on with the Shadows?"
Had we neglected deleting FORMAT_NICK_COMP, however, the completion would
have been:
"Londo: What's going on with the Shadows?"
(assuming default value in FORMAT_NICK_COMP).
Worked around problem with channel actions appearing in wrong window.
Changed hash'd whowas/wholeft and nicklist hashing function to one that
hash's everything.
Fixed numeric 317 format_whois_idle to return the last on info returned from
the command /wii
/on will no longer bug out when displaying ansi. A simple call to stripansi
added to show_hooks()
Fixed up /chanst so statistics are correct...
fixed up /chanst -ALL again. I had disabled it quite some time ago.
Cleaned up update_stats() decifer_mode() and p_kick(). They might even be
faster now on mass deops due to less lookups occurring.
Fixed idle_timer
Added timed unban for most of the flud's.
/set AUTO_UNBAN is the timeout in seconds for timer'd unbans. setting this
to zero will make the timer not go off.
join flooding was broked. did we really need two checks for Join floods?
removed one in p_channel()
Broke non-userlist'd joins when re-arranging p_channel().
Fixed up last of /rel commands so they should all display properly. /rel?
-help displays a help message.
We will now rejoin channels in correct windows on kills. Removed
clear_channel_list() from /reconnect, which allows us to reconnect to all
channels. Fixed rejoin to proper hidden windows.
Added some changes from epic4 pre040. Skipped new scandir(). Added new
method of auto-joining, reconnecting to channels.
Added /map by popular request. output looks similar to scrollz. FLiER's code
was handy as an example.
Added a little check on no such nickname to remove any pending dcc's.
Added a userhost on numeric 433 nick in use.
Added a /unload command to unload 95% of the things a script changes
Added a call to add_to_join_list() in /window channel to preserve the
window refnum.
Typing /w on a channel now updates the internal nicklist. This fixes up the
/away's and the ircop counter.
Changes from epic4 pre041 worked in. Highlights are -
3 new sets. CPU_SAVER_AFTER, CPU_SAVER_EVERY and STATUS_CPU_SAVER
%J for a new status format. displays value of cpu saver.
CPU_SAVER key bind to turn this feature on immediately.
small bug fix in reg.c
Client now compiles unmodified on win95/nt with Cygnus tools.
Added small hack to set_dcc_bits() to prevent lossage of dcc counts.
Fixed up who_left() and show_whowas().
Added new /igt and /ight for timed ignore's. We use /set ignore_time for the
time to ignore this nick or host.
Added /reld and /reldt for /rel dcc and rel dcc topic. last 10 saved.
Small fix to expand_alias() which should fix problems observed with /eval
echo $
Changed FORMAT_VERSION for the last time. $4 $5 are the tcl version strings
if they are enabled.
AUTO_COMP_CHAR renamed to NICK_COMPLETION_CHAR by request of the author of
the patch.
Fixed /eval echo \ core'g the client.
Some patches from Tomas Ogren <stric@ing.umu.se> applied to the client. I
didn't agree with the way some of them were done, so they were not applied.
I did however introduce special handling of the chr(255) within
convert_output_format(). It is now converted directly to a space character.
It's used as a kind of place holder for the parser. So we know exactly what
argument is where on certain format's this is required. ie format_users and
the dcc output parser. This will fix up those non-iso fonts I think, so that
a space is correctly shown, instead of some funny character.
Fixed a epic /me bug with /query =nick.
Fixed a status bar problem with +v in decifer_modes(); BlackJac found this.
Some changes to the DLL module loading procedure to make it easier foR
module writers to write a module and insert it.
xavvy requested a $longip() function. to convert a numeric ip into a network
long.
Fixed up unbanning of people who are banned by someone.
Experimental ignore exception text.
/ignore #channel %ALL text "some other text"
This adds "text" and "some other text" to the ignore exception. Any lines
with "text" or "some other text" appearing in them will be output. No others
lines from that channel will appear. Currently this is restricted to
privmsgs and notices appearing on a channel.
[oweff] ive setup http://crackrock.melnibone.org tho i doubt anyone
will remember that addy. =]
[raistlin] raistlin.toledolink.com is mirror'g bitchx.stuph.org. Thanks
Blu3Viper foR bitchx.stuph.oRg.
71p3 Released May 28/97
Small amount of changes. All mis-ordered vars are now in order.
Fixed ignore of nickname on msg floods.
Added epic4 pre034 changes.
Fixed /wait -name
Fixed message_from() so it works again. This solves a coredumping problem on
SunOS.
/set window_quiet on turns off window messages
/window update updates all windows with the current set of global values
/window bind fixed.
If you kicked from a channel on another window, the kick stays on that
window.
Thomas Niederreiter sent me a patch for #define ONLY_STD_CHARS and
REVERSE_WHITE_BLACK for those who are using normal xterms or want a reverse
color xterm.
Fixed alias_server to return correct servername for the current window.
Fixed /cdcc resend so it actually resends a file not just sends
Added /ignore exceptions. so /ignore *!*@* ALL except *!*@*.com will ignore
everything except .com .
/reinit which will reinitialize all string /set's to the defaults
New /ignore types added. KICKS JOINS QUITS MODES SMODES
WINNT defines removed completely from the source. Added new WINNT defines
and created BitchX97 for 95/NT using cygnus tools. term.c completely rewrote
for it.
/set REASONFILE removed.
/set APPEND_LOG added. default is on. This effects all logfiles /set log on
and the away log.
/chguh to change a nick's userhost added.
/addshit nick * 5 adds nick to the auto-ignore shitlist option.
/query -cmd cmdname (target) will set the cmd to use for the query. Valid
types are msg, privmsg, notice, csay, cmsg, and any matching commands from a
dll that's loaded (ie be cautious).
/on partial_hook_name returns all matching hook names and displays what's
on them.
rewrote get_builtins() so it returns builtin aliases. So now command
completion will return builtin aliases.
A /cdcc send nick #1 woUld fail.
$statsparse() will return the information from the status variables.
so $statsparse(%N %C %L) returns "root #bitchx [Lag 0]" as a string.
requested by suicide.
Some small changes with duplicated code in ctcp functions. New ctcp uptime
added. It is ignored for everyone but those on your userlist.
/window triple on will create a triple status bar. Some caution is urged
with this.
$winquery(nick <server num>) returns the window that nick has a query on.
removed a stripansicodes() from outgoing dcc raw/chat. We will see if this
causes any trouble.
dcc raw listens were broken with dcc_fast on. dcc_raw_listen uses a port
number for the write, which caused us to attempt a FD_ISSET() on some
numbers. This in turn caused a seg fault.
/USERINFO nick comment added. if comment isn't specified then comment is
deleted.
$getinfo(nick) will return userinfo for nick
$setinfo(nick comment) will set userinfo to comment or remove it.
getcomment, setcomment,_getinfo, _setinfo, _statsparse _winquery
added to tcl functions.
FORMAT_FRIEND_JOIN can be modified to return the comment as well. Default is
to not display comment.
Modified tcl matchattr slightly.
Some small fixes to some of the internal check_tcl functions, so that the
handle is passed properly.
$absstrlen() returns the absolute strlen() of a string after taking out ansi
sequences. requested by suicide.
/Usershow to show user comments added.
71p1
Minor bugs fixed. Forget a #ifdef around TRANSLATION_VAR in vars.h. This was
causing minor problems with /set. FORMAT_MSGCOUNT FORMAT_MSG were in the
wrong order as well.
71 Changelog. Released 042397
netsplit handling corrected.
tabkey handler rewritten 3 times over.
input editing was coredumping.
readlog will now correctly read the logfile backwards
fixed? /dc nick adding the nick and the =nick to the tabkey
Changed output of /nwhois and /chanst
fixed /away for scripter's.
Added -ping to /whereis to use ping instead of version
refnum display for show_timer was screwed up.
Novalogic noticed that /deop protection worked, but /kick prot didn't.
Oweff and TimeCop requested /on CDCC_NOTE
/ftp changed to internal ftp client. /dcc ftp added.
/msg -some.ftp.site used to support ftp.
ls cd get put all supported /dcc ftp some.site username passwd fixed.
dTM noticed that /window new hide channel #channel bind #channel was
failing.
with two windows and several channels bitchx would cause you to rejoin on
the wrong server if you were kicked. p_kick()
cleared up the Your not on a channel error message in p_Mode()
Changes made to hide_window() to correct and error in window size recalc.
umode is sent on numeric 001 which should correct some problems with the
server ignoring the umode.
/say -c -a -e for cool annoy and eleet type say's
/ctcp now shows what it was sending by request of BlackJac.
Added -* flag to XECHO. displays mesg in ALL windows. Requested by TheAsp
and Sheik
$stripmirc() now correctly strips mirc color codes completely
$getreason(nick filename) will use filename as a random reason file
replacing $0 with nick.
/cdcc queue displays number in queue
/cdcc queue remove #|nick removes # (3- 1-7 etc) or nick from queue.
/cdcc queue list lists contents of queue
/cdcc queue list nick lists contents of queue for nick
/cdcc list modified output is differant
/cdcc send modified. if filename starts with a number
check pack numbers otherwise send filename.
refixed logmsg() after some changes were attempted for separate channel
logging. This doesn't seem possible. use /log instead.
/window set stat wasn't printing the fullname of the variables (suicide)
renamed VERBOSE_CTCP to CTCP_VERBOSE
/stats flag servername will output in a nicer format now. c h i k l m o u y
/trace flags added. -s -u -o will trace for servers,users,ircops.
Added a HACK_OPS mode. BITCH mode should be on as well as HACK_OPS.
check_shit() now checks PROTECT_CHANNELS
Added password checking into check_auto(). If user is passwd protected, then
auto-ops are not given. they have to /ctcp yournick op #channel passwd
Fixed /chat and /nochat.
Added time to dcc_glist output for dcc chats/ftp/bot modes.
Multiple dcc cdcc sends are possible. Comma separated list of nicks instead
of one nick, will send the file to all the nicks in the list.
Changed addlist_cmp to use strcasecmp instead of strcmp. wonder how many
scripts this'll break.
Bans are not enforced if the shitlist for that channel is off (ie /cset).
Also the protect_channels var can be used to change the channel that's we
protect.
Added Ctrl-O bind. it ig's the the tab msg nicks.
Changed /set so we can list the dll variables with a partial match.
Changed tcl slightly for the raw and input binds. returning 1 from a tcl
function will cancel the ircII handling of the information.
Modified internal tabkey to hold the type of command we want to use. (csay)
Modified /cdcc type and /cdcc echo with no args, displays current. Any other
args will toggle.
Added /dump channel for dumping channel stats
Some changes to tcl.c required. msg, say, notice, desc added as tcl
commands. They use the internal ircII parsers.
Internal functions are now available to the tcl parser. To avoid any name
space polution we renamed the internal BitchX functions with a "_" so
_addshit from tcl accesses the internal function.
Coredump in /back noticed by shadz.
Fixed /l #channel so it leaves a channel
Fixed problem in /set when using dll variables...
Changed the way /rel* sent text to the server.
Major Changes to alias/assign code. EPIC 4's alias caching changes merged.
Mail handler modified. /set Mail 0 1 2
Fixed some variables that have been missing for some time now. Misplaced
ones. See ircii-EPIC0.028 UPDATES for complete list of changes for this
version of BitchX
immortal pointed out that /window new segfaults the client (happens in all
irc clients). fix was in add_window_to_list() and new_window().
prepare_command now sets active_server = -1. helps prevent segfault.
Tweaked cdcc again. modified add_to_queue() to check for duplicate entries
in the queue. Modified dcc_sendfrom_queue() to not check DCC_SEND_LIMIT.
check_channel_match() modified so if the first char is ! we won't auto-op on
that channel, but will on any others that have been specified.
FORMAT_HELP added. to be used with /help output.
Fixed /chg commands to work properly. Added /chgpass.
Fixed check_array_size() and move_array_items()
Noticed that the default chan vars are not being updated properly.
Added new dcc type. /dcc tsend /dcc tresend /dcc tget /dcc treget. This is a
ackless dcc type which responds to filesize for finding the eof. Simple
testing shows that this is aprox 150kb/s faster than normal dcc's
segfault in netsplit handling fixed.
/listdll command added.
/mb was segv'g on some systems. fixed.
/<esc><esc> handling fixed. This seems to have solved crackrock's tabkey
handling as well.
EPIC pre0.29 changes added... Still to come are the userhost caching and
new whois queue.
71alpha11 released for people to try.
Prob one of the longest standing bugs in the history of Bitchx was squished.
cdcc queue sends were crashing once in awhile. bad lamage here.
/foreach fixed.
/who *netcom.com* would add users to the users on the current channel, not
quite what was supposed to happen.
flood warning only happens if the internal flood handler doesn't do
anything. /on FLOOD will override the internal flood handler. Flood handling
was terribly broken for some reason (what was I smoking when I put > instead
of < )
71alpha12 had a short life. rest in peace.
71alpha13 fixed segfault cause by WHO on join. partially server fault I
think. Still a segfault in add_to_channel() I believe. Need more testing.
Server handling of /who and /whois has been changed in CsR29 servers.
oweff pointed out some problems with cdcc hooks. Fixed. Broke 100% of
scripts that handle cdcc output when I added the "type" of msg we are
supposed to send according to the internal cdcc. ie NOTICE or PRIVMSG added
to CDCC_PREPACK CDCC_PACK CDCC_POSTPACK and CDCC_NOTES.
Afte mucho bitching /set mircs actually does something. It converts mirc to
ansi when on. But only for non-scripts. So those of you using a script,
you'll have to bug your script author about using $mircansi()
bans on usernames of greater than 10 chars could fail. bk pointed this out
as well as Cyan who explained it better.
/toggles operview was broken for the last 8 months.
/addidle should work as advertised.
/masskick might have been broken.
/bhelp dcc raw was doing some strange things because of a $listen() in the
text. fixed.
set_dcc_bits() was missing a fast_dcc off setting. This was causing cpu
usage to skyrocket.
Kinda lame bug fix but it'll do for now. For some odd reason we are getting
a NULL user in the whowas list's. We now check for this.
ctcp finger now works again. Thanks Jordy
/sk and /whereis removed due to the changes by removing WHO_ON_JOIN
should prevent flooding of the client on large channels and a netsplit
occuring
long standing bug in mircansi fixed.
fixed a problem with /set beep_on_msg. forgot to pass all the parameters to
the function
wait cmd structure could become corrupted if too many wait's were used.
Alpha18
/set kick_if_banned on/off will turn off kicking of users who have been
banned from the channel. Also nick floods check to see if it's you that's
doing the nickflooding before kicking.
FORMAT_DCC and FORMAT_MSGCOUNT added.
$winchan(number) returns the channel that a window is associated with
Added a #define to config.h for including translation tables back into the
client of those that require it.
------------ Change log from epic pre 0.29 client -----------------
*** News 03/31/97 -- New argument to /WAIT command, ``for''
Yes, ``for'' without a hyphen. This command guarantees that
the code given as the argument is executed synchronously.
That is to say, if the arguments, when executed, sent something
to the server, the command will not return until that request
has been completed (as if a wait had been done.) But if the
code does not send a query to the server, no wait is executed,
and the command returns immediately after the code completes.
Example:
/wait for {
if (arg) { who -line {echo $*} }
{ echo Booya! }
echo Foobar!
}
It is important to note that the implicit wait is done AFTER all
of the arguments to /wait for have been executed. However, any
code that is after the server query (in this case, ``echo Foobar!''
will be executed AFTER the WHO is launched, but BEFORE the
synchronouzation step. If you needed it to be executed after
the WHO completed, you would noT put it inside the /wait for.
Note that you can nest /wait for's and /wait's and they will
sort themselves out sanely:
/wait for {
if (arg) { who -line {echo $*};wait }
}
(This is a silly example, but bear with me.) In this case, there
is an explicit WAIT done after the WHO request. Since a WAIT has
already been completed, the /WAIT FOR will not wait again a second
time. That is to say, it will recognize that the WHO has already
been waited on and will not delay further.
As a side note, using /redirect within a /wait for loop, or
doing a /wait while you are using /redirect is *bad*, and you
are strongly discouraged from doing so. It is undefined behavior.
*** News 03/19/97 -- About the new who/ison (and soon userhost) queues.
The client now keeps a FIFO (queue) of who/ison/userhost queries
you make. It is *critically* important that you do not confuse
these queues (due to the nature of these server queries, there is
no way to have any reasonable error recovery).
The following behaviors are forbidden (but the client wont stop
you from doing them)
* Using /ON ^RAW_IRC to wedge the 303, 351, or 315 numerics.
If you do this, the queues wont be properly flushed, anyone
waiting on a proper reply wont be handled, and any further
reqeusts will be thought to be previous queries, and all hell
will break loose.
* Using /QUOTE to launch USERHOST, ISON, or WHO requests..
If you do this, the client will whine at you when it gets
unexpected replies and will eat the information. If you launch
another query before the invalid one finishes, all hell will
break loose.
*** THERE IS NO WAY TO RECOVER IF YOU DO THESE THINGS ***
If youre stupid enough to do it, you get what you deserve.
*** News 03/18/97 -- Expanded syntax for $userhost()
For your convenience, the $userhost() function now takes arguments:
You may specify one or more nicknames as arguments to the $userhost()
function, and the corresponding userhost(s) for the nick(s) specified
will be returned. The string <UNKNOWN>@<UNKNOWN> will be inserted
for any nicknames whose userhost is not known. The nickname(s)
speified *must* be people who are on channels you are also on for
the current server! (See the second caveat)
* Caveat -- Because it can take time for the WHO query to complete
after you join a channel, there is no definite way to know if
$userhost() for a person on your channel will succeed or not.
You should probably be prepared to launch a /USERHOST query in
case of failure. This deficiency may be altered or modified in
the future to block if an otherwise valid request is made while
a WHO query is still pending.
* Caveat -- This function will never be modified to launch a server
query. That means that this function will only ever recognize those
nicknames that are common to channels you are on. If you want to find
the userhost for other users, you should use the /userhost command.
It is expected that the /userhost command will soon be able to
take advantage of the userhost caching (but it does not yet.)
*** News 03/18/97 -- Expanded syntax for /who
For your convenience, the /who command now takes two new arguments:
-line {...} The code inside the braces will be executed for each
line returned by the who query. The arguments are
exactly the same as for the /on who hook, except that
this flag is *gUaranteed* to override the default
/on who, and will also *go away* when the current who
query is finished.
-end {...} The code inside the braces will be executed at the
end of the who query, when the 315 numeric is parsed.
The arguments are:
$0 - server queried
$1 - body of the query
This is guaranteed to toverride the default /on 315,
and will also go away once the current who query is
completed.
These command bodies will be executed asynchronously, which means
that you must assume that the enclosing code scope will complete
before the code is ever executed (e.g., the same rules as for the
/userhost -cmd flag.) unless you use /wait. You are encouraged
to not use /wait if you can figure a way around it. Code that is
not concerned with being stricly backwards compatable with the
stock client is ***strongly encouraged*** to use these new flags.
Underlying this change is a new re-entrant WHO queue, which allows
you to launch more than one WHO query simultaneously. No longer do
concurrent WHO requests have to wait for previous queries to complete,
and no longer (with the above flags) does the caller need to put the
WHO command in a /stack-/on-/wait wrapper.
*** News 03/17/97 -- /on 312, /on 319 changes
All of the whois numerics: 311, 312, 313, 314, 317, 318, 319
now pass $0 as the server name and $1 as the target of the
whois query. All the rest of the arguments are passed as $2-.
Previously, some of these numerics passed the target as $1,
but not all of them. I changed it this way for consistancy.
*** News 03/17/97 -- New: /ON STATUS_UPDATE and $status()
/ON STATUS_UPDATE is hooked whenever any of the status lines
for any of the visible windows changes **and you are in dumb mode**:
$0 is the refnum for the window whose status line has changed
$1 is the status line in that window that has changed
$2- is the actual status line for that window.
$status() can be used to fetch the current status line for any
visible window. Invisible windows do not have their status lines
updated, so they may be inaccurate. This problem may change in
the future. Pass two arguments:
$0 is the refnum for a window
$1 is the status line
*** News 03/02/97 -- Local variables can now span entire array tree
The syntax:
``local x.y.''
will define all variables in the subarray $x[y][...] to be
implicitly considered local variables. That is to say, the
entire variable tree rooted at $x[y] is local to that scope.
This was requested by a user for compatability with another
client. All local variables that are instantiated in this
manner have the same scope as the explicit declaration above.
*** News 02/18/97 -- New built in variable, /SET CONNECT_TIMEOUT <seconds>
Set this to the number of seconds you want your connect()ions to
block before they time out. Note that this doesnt affect
connect()ions that are already in progress, only those that are
started after you set it. The default is 30.
*** News 01/30/97 -- Expanded syntax for /LOCAL, /STUB
You may now specify more than one name per command: Each name
will be treated independantly of all others. The names must be
seperated by a comma, and ***must not*** have any spaces between
the commas and the names (that is, all of the names must form one
logical word). To declare both "foo" and "bar" as local vars,
/local foo,bar
You can do this to stub more than one alias/assign to the same
file, as well:
/stub foo,bar filename
*** News 01/29/97 -- New command /BLESS
Currently this commanD ignores its arguments. This will not be
the case in the future (eg, arguments will be added)
When given no arguments, the /bless command causes the current
stack frame to not be atomic. You are therefore free to reference
local variables of the enclosing atomic stack frame. Extreme
care must be taken that there is indeed an enclosing stack frame
from which to reference local variables: Otherwise havoc may ensue.
Usually you can ensure this by doing a /wait after a local server
query. When an enclosing stack frame "returns" (ie, an alias ends),
any /on that is processed later due to a server request made by that
stack frame must not use this command.
Dont forget to clean up your messes when youre done with them. =)
See the 'guh' script for a demonstration of how i used it.
*** News 01/27/97 -- New flag for /EXEC, -direct
Syntax:
/EXEC -direct <commands>
This simulates the effect that unsetting the SHELL variable
causes, that is, the command is executed directly, without
invoking a subshell. This is appropriate for those who wish
to execute a command passing untrusted data as an argument:
With this flag, there would be no shell to interpret metacharacters,
thus cutting down on that ability to have an accidental back door.
*** News 01/27/97 -- New command, /SETENV
Syntax:
/SETENV <var-name> <new-val>
Sets the process environment variable <var-name> to the value of
<new-val>. This command is noT neccesarily useful, nor is it
always appropriate, but it is provided for completeness. There
are several places in the code that can benefit from the ability
to change environment variables after startup (eg, TZ). It also
allows you to set environment variables for /exec'd processes,
and it is also possible to really foul things up if you mangle
important environment variables such as DISPLAY and so on.
*** News 01/24/97 -- New, /ON ODD_SERVER_STUFF
This is hooked whenever the server sends you something
that the client cannot recognize. This is usually when
you try to connect to a non ircd server, or you use some
extension that isnT yet supported.
$0 is the server that sent it to you, '*' if unknown
$1- is the unrecognized command and its arguments.
*** News 01/22/97 -- /FE, /FOREACH use local variables now
The "control variables" for the /FE and /FOREACH command
now are local variables. They will not disturb global variables,
but they will destroy any local variables you have by the same
name. You dont have to explicitly declare the variables as local,
it is done automatically for you. Note that the normal warnings
for local variables still apply -- dont use any variable name that
is the same as a global variable you might want to use later in
the same alias/on.
*** News 01/18/97 -- Support for local variables
You may define a local variable with the following command:
LOCAL <varname> [<value>]
It mirrors the ASSIGN command. Note that local variables act
in exactly the same way as normal variables, except you cannot
get rid of them. You also do not (yet) have any way to get at
a global variable that has the same name as a local variable, so
choose wisely. An example:
alias foobar
{
local b (declare LOCAL var $b as [])
assign a 4 (assigns 4 to GLOBAL $a)
local a 5 (assigns 5 to LOCAL $a)
eval echo $a (outputs '5' -- local)
@ a = [] (clears LOCAL variable)
eval echo $a (outputs '' -- local)
}
Restrictions:
* You cannot have local aliases -- only local variables
* You cannot save local variables.
* You cannot (yet) access a global variable with the same name
as a local variable.
This support is EXPERIMENTAL and still has a lot of development
to go before it is mature. Do not depend on any specific detail
of the implementation to remain constant. The interface should
remain unchanged, but it may also be expanded. If you have a
specific request about this implementation, feel free to ask.
02-10-96 BitchX 70 released. We've come along way baby.
Seems some bugs cropped up right away... /window set and status.c window
pointer was being changed on status_notify which caused me some trouble with
seemingly random segfaults. $mircansi() had a bug with ^C1,243324324 and
^C234723875 large numbers. Weird problem with /ftp /telnet possibly fixed...
for some reason calloc() isn't returning a 0'd memory location. Fix for
-parsekey type_text blah instituted. This affected both epic and BitchX,
Ctoolz, Scrollz and ALL other ircii clients including 2.9roof. /cdcc offer
was displaying the wrong pack number for a note. fixed. small bug that can't
happen very often found in built-in alias's. curr_scr_win->server has a
possible -1 value. screw() was screwed on certain length host names.
Various other small fixes here and there. ChanWallop does 8 nicks at a time
now. This gets around the lame server protection that some servers have
implemented. Notice small buglet in /addbanword where * was not recognized
as a valid channel. /kb and /ban will now check the whowas list for a
matching nick and ban it if all else fails. Hacked around in decifer_mode().
Added some new botnet commands. /ctoggle and .xlink. with /ctoggle on,
someone can send a .xlink command where command is any valid ircii command.
so please to be careful with this. If you set a BOT_PASSWD then anyone
knowing this password can auto-chat as well as bot-link with you. xlink
commands default to off. and I will modify this highly to only recognize
certain commands. DLL loading for linux implemented. What this does is allow
someone to write a function/command in c and give it to people. They can
then dynamic load the function/command which then becomes a regular client
command. No source for the module need be distributed. This same method is
used in libtcl and I assume perl as well. All internal client functions are
available to the module IF we add -rdynamic to the client link stage.
Otherwise they are not available. Although untested, tcl functions should
also be available in TCL compiled clients. I modified the client to look for
dll commands and then commands, alias's etc. I also re-implemented the
Tcl_Eval portion of the command loop. It's one of the last things checked.
/loaddll function implemented for dynamic loading of functions, ctcp's and
commands. These lists are checked before all others so that authors can
replace internal's of the same name. /bk and /ban will now check the whowas
list for matching nicks and ban it when the nick is not on the channel or
has signed off. erase_display() had a off by one error. /reset was lame. and
screwed up the display. all fixed. $banonchannel(chan ban) added by request.
Checks to see if ban is on the internal banlist for the channel. Well
someone nicked goat found the alt char set ansi set would switch the console
into this mode. It looked like a flash, but wasn't. Required some rethinking
in FixColorAnsi(). NovaX found a bug with not checking the channel match for
bans on perm bans. Also found a bug with multiple windows and channels where
the away mesg was being displayed twice. FORMAT_SEND_AWAY added by request
from shade. /tignore added. it works like /tban. After some prodding I
modified the cdcc sends/resends to work with multiple numbers. "*" is also
recognized for send all. After removing the /me from /away found that the
away message doesn't display to the screen. /back doesn't prompt to delete
the away file if /set msglog is off. $winrefs() returns all window refnums.
shade and all his color changes on the status bar found a nasty little
problem with static buffers. so we increased the buffer sizes by a factor of
2. Fixed /do say $repeat(5000 blah) to only return upto 2048 chars. Fixed a
few windowing bugs shade pointed out. Apatrix pointed out a couple of
deficiencies in /set bitch on. Maybe we cleaned it up. BarK0de pointed out a
little inconsistancy with /addword and /banword(s). $gethost(nick) returns
the hostname for the nick as stored internally. nick has to be on one of our
current servers channels and the first match is returned. local variable
support added from epic. BEEP_WHEN_AWAY fixed so it doesnt beep you when
your away for Flick^. some changes required in p_privmsg().
menus, history file support, translation and digraphs have all been removed
from the client for various reasons. Some buffer sizes have been reduced to
decrease memory footprint. This should make some admins happier. Cleaned up
vars.c by removing some old variables no longer used. removed nkill and
nhost commands as they require a hacked server to support them. Removed
WANT_ANSI from all source files. This cleaned up the source considerably.
/mode channel b wasn't displaying the modes for a channel. /set ov on/off
wasn't working properly. /window split on/off changed. /set double_status is
no longer required. fixed whoreply() to show up in the correct window.
Added new function variable %` for the uptime of the client.
destroy_call_stack was failing for whatever reason. Some more places where I
wasn't clearing the FD_SET() for writes found. /set nick_completion_type 0 1
2 are valid. 0 nick is first word. 1 nick is somewhere in the string. 2 we
do match'g on the string. /set auto_response modified to allow more than one
word to trigger nick completion. wildcards are allowed. /finger now doesn't
block on connect. This one accomplished by adding a socket callback list.
Other functions could accomplish the same thing. maybe a rewrite of the link
looker is in order. /scani for scanning a channel for ircops added. Needed
some error checking for window->server in $MYCHANNELS(). added -max patch
for lastlog command from sheik. added support for colorization of /help (any
takers? . Found bug this introduced in malloc_strcpy(). Added dll_variable
support now as well. Jeremy has done some major changes to EPIC3 and made
EPIC4. We've tried to follow along. term.c needed to be left the same but
support for some decrepatated systems has been removed ie ESIX. Changes to
configure have been made and make configuring tcl alot easier. Changes to
do_flood(). /ig /igh modified to accept a type as well as multiple nicks.
Nick completion changed, partial matching of a nickname is possible.
/ig /igh /unig /unigh will use whowas buffer if the nick can't be found.
/tignore was not woRking quite right. Someone pointed out that /dcc bot
worked without a passwd. /sc bug fixed. Nick completion modified in
behaviour. Pattern matching of the nick will take place. ^R bound to
nick_completion() which takes the word behind the cursor and attempts to
match it with a nick on the current channel. So typing the following
will/should do the following.
/msg pana<tab> if nick is in tabarray then fill it in
/msg pana<tab> if nick is not in tabarray, check current channel
pana^] if nick in autoreply buffer fill it in.
pana^] if nick not in autoreply buffer but on current
channel, fill it in.
this is to pana^R if nick is on current channel fill in the nick.
^R cycle through current channel nicks
<tab> cycle through tabarray.
^] cycle through current channel nicks
For some reason noT found yet (ie bug or feature) once one of these
functions is accessed in some cases we need to press the key again to bring
up the next nick. Depending on how annoying I find this, will determine how
long this takes to get fixed. /cdcc offer updated to take multiple file
specs on the line. ie /cdcc offer *.c *.h Makefile will create a package
with all those files in it. /SetAR -|d|pat's commanD added. Added $getvar()
function which will get an alias and return it. Protection was broked. Some
people are having trouble with the new term.c. Might possibly be termcap
related. topic bug found by shadz on newnet. buffer overflow problem.
BitchX 69 released. 12/28/96
Fixed dcc.c update_transfer_buffer() for the second time. noT sure what
happened in the first time I patched this file. Fixed cdcc load to get the
right number of files. A problem with /m . fixed. /relw and /relsw fixed.
Changed format of FORMAT_BWALL slightly. Added CtoolZ CWallop to notice.c.
Fixed bug in free_display() and erase_display(). Added triple status bar, as
well as /window split on/off. window split is far from perfect though.
Changes to switch_channels() which make the channels that a window owns
bound to that window. Pressing Ctrl-X to switch will not switch to a channel
that was not joined from the window. Active dcc check on exit changed. Now
we only check active dcc gets and regets. send_to_server() modified so that
network errors will make the client cycle on a server. Fixed /reli. Fixed
pgup and pgdn to display proper number of lines in window. Added %- as a
status bar symbol for displaying current topic. hook channel_switch added
for script writers to tell when a channel switch has been made. Added /rels
for server messages. We keep the last 10 msgs. Changes from epic 3.002 and
3.003 merged. extended status_user functions added thanks to sheik. %!11
through %!19 are available now. %= displays voice on the status bar. /set
beep_always on/off. /input_char and /pause x added. WARNING major
incompatibility but new functionality. most of the /set status's are now
moved into /window set. Fixed /input and /input_char so more than one char
can be set in /input. Added /oRignick which will try and take back a nick
every 20/30 seconds. format_ctcp $3 and $4 are reversed just to make more
sense. /addlamenick and /unlamenick implemented. $stripmirc() will strip the
lame mIRC ^C from the input string. ex.
/set format_public %b<%n$1%b>%n $stripmirc($3-)
Found and fixed a bug in /remlog. which was causing some grief. All
format_ctcp's are now changed to use $4- and $3 instead of $3 and $4-. much
easier on the client. Added /lamenicklist to show nick list.
New tcl bind type. Now we have a type for input. This is called just before
the command is sent to the irc interpreter. Input is then passed onto the
ircii interpreter. Removed NAMES_ON_JOIN in favor of SHOW_CHANNEL_NAMES.
Corrected the workings of this command. tcl command userhost added. Accepts
any number of nicknames. When the servEr responds, it sets userhost and
un-userhost wIth the appropriate responses. Added tcl getchanmode #channel.
Added new tcl bind input (Thanks robocod). It is checked just before the
line of input is sent to the interpreter. MAjor dessync problem found and
fixed. /quote JOIN #channel where you are already on #channel and channel
mode is +i would cause the client to remove the channel. The server actually
thought you were on the channel. Small buglet in new parse server notices
code, tended to core the client for some reason. Forgot to sync the userlist
with the channel nicklist when we did a chglevel/chgaop/chgprot/chgchan
operation. /set show_numerics on/off now works, but not in the same way that
it used to. The last current numeric is displayed. /set -show_numerics_str
now doesn't crash the client. /bki for boot kick ignore added. /fk added as
a command alias'd to /masskick ie filter kick. DCC sends have been speeded
up by a order of magnitude of 3-6 times. status updating on dcc sends and
recieves has been slowed down to occur on every 10th packet or so. Testing
was done using ircii ircii-hyper Scrollz eggdrop and a modified ComBot with
dcc file capabilies. A 19meg file was transferred repeatly over the course
of several days. It was done using localhost connect for highest possible
transfer speeds. ncftp was 3.8Mb/s. Scrollz was between 450kb/s-1017kb/s.
ircii-hyper was around 650kb/s-1073kb/s (also had trouble with the eof
even between two clients irc-hyper). BitchX to eggdrop 460kb/s.
BitchX to combot was 806kb/s-1073Kb/s. BitchX 68e was a dismal
275kb/s-490KB/s. BitchX to ircii-epic 3.003 was 450-700Kb/s. Ctoolz with
DCC_BLOCK_SIZE of 2048 was 1100Kb/s and with 4096 was 1475Kb/s.
ircii 2.8.2 with DCC_BLOCK_SIZE of 4096 hit 1050Kb/s and with 2048 got
1200Kb/s. And finally BitchX 68f to BitchX 68f was variable (*grin*)
between 890kb/s and 2150kb/s. Reasons for variance was /set DCC_BLOCKSIZE
was changed from 2048 to 4096 between runs and dcc status indicator was
turned off as well. (100mhz pent 64m ram. 6 shells open. basic Redhat running
with irc server and 2-4 irc clients ide drives). Cpu Usage is down as well.
The file used is an actual tar.gz file with data in it. All of dcc.c was
colorized.

/set lastlog_ansi on/off for display of ansi in your lastlog file.
/set dcc_fast on/off to change fast dcc sends on the fly.
more binds for /window swap.. added 8 9 and 10. Added access to a internal
function called stripansicodes() which will strip all color from a string.
Chatted with some newnet oper-admins about there server software. Merged in
SOCKS support. Made configure understand some options about tcl,
non-blocking, socks, and default-server. Use configure --help to find them.
Url grabber. /set http_grab on/off. this will grab any http: string and
place in the file $CTOOLZ_DIR/BitchX.http. string can be a public or a msg.
As well /lastlog will also match grab any previously said url's. Small bug
with input prompt and NULL being inserted into the string (fyi all clients
suffer the same problem). ie "null char some text" and press enter. /dc now
accepts a list of nicks to chat with. We also use the userhost queue to find
the nicks on irc before starting a chat with them. Added more register usage
to possibly speed up the client. modified p_mode to update the structures
first and then print out stats. This will increase the speed as well.
convert_output_format() takes some cpu to perform it's color parse. Small
bug fixed in addlamenick. check_mode_list_join() was getting a null and
crashing on a recycle in some cases. /window swap now set's the channel to
the bound channel or the current window channel. perm bans were broked.
/fkline was modified to use a differant method of scanning k-lines. Need new
match() routine that will handle wildcards on either side. Thanks ananda for
the mirc->ansi converter which I modified tobe a function. $mircansi() takes
a string of text and converts the mirc color codes to ansi. Added /ostat for
mperators and cleaned up operator messages considerably. Alot of format's
for operator messages added and defaults for efnet are given.
Changes for 68e
Added command matching. ie /m<tabkey> returns all commands starting with m
etc. Linking of clients now made easier with /clink command. Several other
commands like /cwho /cwhom /csay have been added. Things said over dcc chat
are progated across the link. Some changes in window handling which look
like they solve the windowing problems BitchX was having. Added 2 new user
auto-op levels for giving voice to someone. 3 is delay voice and 4 is
instant voice. other minor fixes. Removed my command matching in favor of
the internal command_completion routine. more changes to tabkey routine.
/m roo will return the nick that matches roo, /m root will cycle between
nicks. small change to tcl ircii command, so information is returned
cleaner. ie we can now do /tcl set ircii-set [ircii set] so all
available ircii set's will be in the tcl variable ircii-set. Ansi stripping
is not done. This does have limitations however. Fixed passing 0 to tcl's
random(). Changed the party line. We now need to enter .chat to enter the
party line. Various other commands are available from the partyline.
including .help . /Wall from other BitchX users will now not display as a
wall. /set format_bwall can be used to modify the output. /dcx and /dcg
added. dcx kills chat request from nick. dcg kills all gets/regets of files
from nick. /lwk remove the current window. Note you cannot remove the very
last window. added .echo on/off or toggle to /msg =nick on the chat line.
Added /cdcc echo toggle cdcc output to yourself on/off. /cdcc type toggles
between notify and privmsg. Fixed dcc chat .boot to it informs the
partyline of the boot as well as the user that got booted. Wangel
contributed /rel to list msgs you have recieved. few other minor nitpicks
fixed here and there :) Mathe noticed that /remlog doesn't reset the away
msg count. Thanks to CyberD0g kicking me in the head, the status update
doesn't occur nearly as often as it was. This increases the speed of dcc
considerably on localhost transfers... ie I went from 89KB/s to 213KB/s over
127.0.0.1. ctcp nick op #channel changed so that userlevel's > 49 can op
themselves, userlevels > 29 < 50 will voice themselves. Idea from mathe.
When away and send_away_msg is on, we will send back our away msg to the
person msg'g us. The format of this will more than likely change
considerably. The dcc status bar % is differant now. it will display upto 10
file dcc percentages. Might solve alot of problems people have been having
with dcc's and status bar updates.
Changes for 68
Changed some fundemental functions around a little after a chat with Sheik.
Added a new function for setting up channel params. This reduces code size,
because for just about any function() that oPerates on a channel we need
to do this. Added a new FORMAT_TOPIC_UNSET and a /untopic command. Changed
the /topic command around. We now no longer need to have a channel
specified. We use the default channel if none is specified. Changes to the
userlist started. Fixed major lossage from a /ctcp message. Emergency
release. Incompatible change with scripts on FORMAT_TOPIC_SETBY. use stime
instead of tdiff(). /relm and /reln now save the last 10 msg/notice's which
can be changed with a compile time #define MAX_LAST_MSG. FORMAT_RELM
FORMAT_RELN are used to format the output of these. So /rel[m-n] >[channel]
[number]> <-l>. /cset aop for channel specific auto-op. the meaning of the
/set aop has now changed because of this. Added ^W? key bind. fixed /4op and
/topic. Creation of a simple minded Bitch mode. /cset bitch mode will
reverse certain modes placed by someone not on your botlist or your
userlist. Fixed core dump with /links command. Added portnum capability to
/dcc chat and /dcc bot(tcl) /dcc send and resend. Added a ascii from
acidjazz. Thanks. fixed /away sending ansi out to the server. was causing
havoc with non-ansi clients :). Replaced some occurance of nickinuser() with
a routine from Sheik. Modified slightly to fit in with BitchX's userlist
scheme. Mikh suggested a change for doing fast modes.
Implemented and tested. Fixed check_prot() so it actually proTects users on
the userlist. /userlist will now take several optional arguements. A channel
and/or a userhost mask will display only user's matching a certain type.
/botlist is also setup the same way. /notify will display the userhost of
those on your notify list if present. idle kick won't kick voice'd users or
mps if KICK_OPS is off. on channel join we check both the userlist and the
botlist and display using FORMAT_FRIEND_JOIN. (68c-T4). Fixed mode #channel
so it displays the mode of a channel without having opz on the channel.
Modified /back so if /set -format_back is done it won't prompt for reading
the away file. Also won't give you your away time. Possible fix for not
displaying ansi with DISPLAY_ANSI off. Possible input prompt fix for ansi
input. Some fixes/suggestions from FLiER concerning status update, and
.bitchrc (w)SAVEA. nick and join floods now work as advertised. nick floods
should be quicker to catch as well. /randomnick now takes upto two optional
parameters, count and prefix to use. /window new channel #linux and window
swapping were not updating the input prompt at all. Channel joins were not
always announced. Still a bug with the nick->userlist in p_channel() not
being updated on the first announce of a join. $cparse() added for script
color parsing. mathe suggested $getreason(nick). It uses the color parser
so $0 and $1 are defined as nick and mynick. output is ansi-stripped.
Replace BitchX.reasons quickly. level 5 userlist protection should work as
well. /jnw #channel added. Ansi is allowed in dcc chat's if and only if
/set dcc_ansi is set on. Input prompt is now properly cleared. Sergs_ fixed
a little problem with check_auto(). Also fixed up a few other things in the
check_auto() check_prot() areas ie sent code. Added code to read BitchX.quit
which is a file of quit messages. It's passed through color parser so it has
$0 defined as well as any other $functions and variables. Lotsa other small
fixes added as well. Merged new epic changes in. This added $chmod()
$twiddle() and $uniq(). Also added /call to display the script call stack.
Added /set cdcc_prompt. Fixed /relm and /reln formats, as well as fixed the
send of /relm to a nick. Changed the output of whois to display the channels
if the nick is on any of the internal lists. /j added in as an alias for
/join again. Fixed /readlog. Modified userlist once again. What happens is
this. If a nick is in the Botlist we ignore the userlist. A botlist entry is
an exact nick!user@host entry. If not in the botlist then we check the
userlist using *!user@host. We also check the shitlist entries even if they
are found in either of the two lists. Ctcp op/invite/Unban work the same way
now as well. Fixed a problem in /ctcp op and /ctcp invite noticed by
immortal. Added a new FixColorAnsi() from Flier which saves some work and
makes the screen output snappier. stripansicodes() was actually rather slow
because we stripped ansi everywhere. stripansicodes() is still used but in a
much more limited fashion. Setup home page www.sasknet.com/~pionh. Added
some debugging functions. /call will display a call stack for an alias. hmmm
maybe we should implement the saving of /relsw /relw /relt /relst *grin*.
Added a new shitlist level 5 which perm ignores the *!*user@host of someone.
$uhost(nick) will return the userhost of someone on your channels. Multiple
returns can be expected. /set REVERSE_STATUS_LINE renamed to STATUS_REVERSE.
This allows us to be more compatible with scrollz as well as making much
more sense. I've also defaulted this to off. As on reverses the meaning of
the ansi from /set format_status*'s. Fixed $isuser() to not segfault on
shit'd users.
Changes for 67 Released 090896
/away now converts the output format so we can do nicer things with it.
idle time on /wi was screwed up somewhat. ctcp.c has been revamped. Thanks
to FLiER of Scrollz fame for sending me a patch for a color input prompt.
Changes were minimal to incorparate this into BitchX/epic. %! displays
channel counts for ops/nonops/voice/ircops for the current channel. Fixed a
problem with the input prompt not updating properly on channel change when a
$T is in the input_prompt. Changes in status.c. Added color status bar
capabilities. Also added color backgrounds. %0 - %7 are background colors.
%8 is reverse and %9 is bold. Fixed some problems with new send_text() and
dcc support. Found a couple of memory leaks in dcc. But I don't think I
found the main one. Fixed /ftp and friends seg fault problems. Passwords can
now be used on the userlist and the botlist. This affects /ctcp's but not
auto-op stuff. Fixed a major memory leak that's been around from version
64. A few new format's added for some numeric responses. Fixed ^L seen on
the status line. Changed parse_args() to read the file IDENT_HACK for the
username.
Changes for 65-66 released sunday Aug 25
Fixed to compile on SunOS and other systems. Solaris has a broken va_args()
function. This sucks. %c is taken as a int instead and de-promoted to a
char. forgot a set_non_blocking call in dcc.c. Some window commands were a
little screwy. ie /window new hide channel #warez the ^Wl command didn't
display properly. /whois while switched to this window would goto the
previous window and the current window. so we made whois display to the
current window. netsplit detection while we are on a channel works. netjoin
detection seems to work. Netsplit hacking remains to be checked. We should
no longer de-op people who had ops on the channel when the server re-joins,
within a certain length of time. After that time is up, then we will (or
should de-op that person). We are using a modified whowas routine to store
split nicks and check that against the person joining the channel.
Dakota pointed out that ctcp_reply wasn't being done properly. As well
Ctrl-K for invite's was a little problem. Ctr-T and Ctrl-E have the same
problem but until a solution hits me in the head :) will remain the way they
are. Color can now be used within the BitchX.help file. Topics can't be
colored yet, and we still need a couple of indentation spaces before we can
start the material for a topic. We now don't kick ourselves on floods and
stuff. FORMAT_ACTION* and FORMAT_NOTICE* and FORMAT_MSG and FORMAT_PUBLIC*
had a parameter removed. IT was a lame one, that I'd added to remain
compatible, but caused more problems that it solved. FORMAT_MODE now should
properly handle the case of a server mode. /list will now prompt you yes/no
before doing a /list * . FORMAT_VERSION is setup along with a /sv command.
Requested by IceBreak. /whokill /tracekill and /traceserv are re-added by
request of myc. get_reason() is used for getting random kick reasons from
BitchX.reasons. We now can use $ variables in here. $0 is the nick and $1 is
our nick. /encrypt will not segfault when we send/recieve a encrypted msg.
Enabled the FORMAT_ENCRYPTED_NOTICE/MSG vars as well. Due to popular request
FORMAT_NICK_AUTO, FORMAT_NICK_COMP and FORMAT_NICK_MSG were added. Because
of this we also added NICK_COMPLETION_TYPE. 0 nick has tobe the first word
on the line. 1 the nick can be anywhere on the line. Added /nochat and /chat
commands ala Icebreak. /p and /ping now do the right thing and ping a
channel if no arguement's given. /ver will version a channel or a person.
/back is now separated from /away. /away will still do the same things as
previous. ie /away will still set you back /away message will set you away,
but /back will only put you back. We also give the option of reading and
deleting the log that might be created. /more will display a file of your
choice. New send_text() routine makes life easier. But is has one
consequence. I had to modify FORMAT_SEND_MSG and FORMAT_SEND_NOTICE to take
one other variable. The sender's nick is $2. It was either modify these two
or another two.... Damn it. fixed small bug in dcc_message_transmit().
Changed FORMAT_SEND_PUBLIC and FORMAT_SEND_PUBLIC_OTHER damn it.
$channicks(channel) returns a comma separated list of nicks on a channel.
Useful for those mass messaging types. /on nslookup just for BlackJac.
format_topic_change_header for BarK0de. Pent suggested format_names_banner,
format_name_voicecolor and format_whowas_header. /msay will say something on
all your channels at once. Cdcc channels will now accept a * for All
channels and it takes all current channels and adds them to the list. Fixed
exec -o to actually tell us what it's doing again. Fixed a ignore returning
too soon on notice's. Fixed a problem with dcc stats giving wrong numbers.
Drastic suggested a /fproT on/off command. This is a simple toggle which
either turns on or off full flood protection. /offers command and a /c
command added. /c is for channel/user mode changes. /offers is for xdcc
list'g a channel, useful in something like #sexpics.
081396 -------Changes for BitchX 64--------------- (Major Upgrade)
Lotza changes in tooo many places to even begin to list. Most have todo with
the ansification of the client. Most msg's output from the client can now be
completely user defined using /set FORMAT type variables. Thanks hellshock
for the wonderful idea. renamed /dirlm /dirln to /reln and /relm added /relsm
and /relsn commands. Fixed term reset todo the proper thing. clear the
screen and then reset. Some changes to dcc were made. dcc sends should now
be alot faster. Added new keybindings. Added Toggles for Cloak and
OperView. Added %K for status bar display of operkills/nick collisions.
Added MdVoice and Devoice commands. Same parameters as deop and mdop. I was
asked to remove the cluster() from /addbot for security reasons. Bot's are
now matched on exact userhost's + any special server chars "+~-".
/scano /scanv /scann /scan will scan a channel for various types of users on
a channel. /toggle will display a a screen of toggles which a user can then
/toggle <command> to turn on/off. %K will display operkills on status var.
uses STATUS_OPER_KILL for the format. Ctrl-E Ctrl-K Ctrl-F Ctrl-X Insert and
Delete, F1-F5 and Esc-1 to Esc7 all have internal bindings. They can of
course be changed to whatever you like. /rel* functions made alot more
stable (ie they don't dump core.) Modified alias_special_char,
TruncateAndQuote and strformat() functions. We can now do $[30.]0 and
$[-30.]0 to pad a string with a certain character. fixed a small bug with
/window double on. When sending a msg/notice we now add that nick to the
internal tabkey list. Added ^W bindings for grow window, shrink window,
window kill, window hide, window balance, window list, window move, window
next and window prev. Added more FORMAT_* vars'. FORMAT_AWAY and FORMAT_BACK
FORMAT_NICKNAME_OTHER and quite a few others. Added some changes from new
EPIC beta. Fixed Away and back and others. Changed meaning of /set
SEND_AWAY_MSG to if on we send a msg to our channels. If off we don't.
Forgot to reset /Set AUTO_RESPONSE to our new nick on nick changes.
FORMAT_TOPIC_SETBY should now be working. put_it() will not output a blank
line. This allows me to get rid of the ERROR MESSAGE and allows the user to
set any FORMAT variable to NULL. /eval echo %Pthis is purple%w white%K and
bright black now works. Ban times should now be stored correctly within the
client. /on clone_read now works. /set NICK_COMPLETION on/off turns nick
completion on or off. Undefined FAST_DCC_SENDS within the config.h file. If
you are on a ppp/slip site and require fast dcc sends and are prepared to
use some CPU (ie aprox 30%) then define this option. Otherwise leave this
alone, as your ISP will more than likely ban you :). Also you can now define
a DEFAULT_USERMODE. Because of the way things work within BitchX you need to
either define this to change your initial connect or /reconnect in order to
set your initial usermode. you can also export IRCUMODE=+iw to change your
usermode for the initial connect. /rel* and friends now will take a nick or
channel arguement. /set AUTO_AWAY on/off and /set AUTO_AWAY_TIME added. We
now will auto-setaway after auto-away_time. only 0 or 10+ minutes allowed.
Anything less than 10 is made to be 10. you can also specify this in
seconds. /env autoaway will set the default autoaway message. Numbers of
minutes the timer is set to is automatically added. hmmm until moRe can be
figured out with /echo we won't be using convert_color_format() in echo's.
It allows someone to $eval(rm -rf /*) your system. NOT good.
--------------- BitchX client -----------------
01/09/96
Fixed small buglet in the size of a alias allowed.. was crashing irc when
the alias hit a certain size. just increased size of buffers by double for
now.. look further for the rest of the solution later
01/10/96
Added couple of new commands. readlog() and remlog() to deal with msglog's.
started adding /adduser for storing info like a combot would.
fixed couple of bugs in /dcc dealing with ~ in filenames.
started looking for a way to deal with dcc_num field. also for dealing with
dcc_limits. have some ideas, but not implemented yet. Fixed a couple of
memory leaks in names.c dealing with new fields added to NickList structure
and list_shit structures in pluto.c
01/14/96
Started adding /cdcc and CDCC commands and on ctcp. Added AutoCtcpkick var
for kicking on /ctcp * send N :) Removed some duplicate code.
01/16/96
Added /msg nick xdcc command sets. works with xdcc bdcc and cdcc.
fixed a strcmp in ctcp.c do_ctcp so it actually does a my_stricmp.
When sending large numbers of files all at once on local system, a bus
error will occur.. Need to find this. Also new 2.9b6 server fucks up and
don't send a proper response to a nick collision. numeric codes 433 and 437
I combined into one number to make it work. Added 251-255 responses from
server /lusers works again :)
01/21/96
fixed a couple of small bugs in cdcc handling of private and public msg's.
Due to a baby being born, no changes to the queue handling code has been
done. So do NOT /set dcc_send_limit. you have been warned.
01/22/96
added auto join channel on invite toggle /set auto_join on/off default on
01/24/96
nothing new.. couple of bug fixes. crashed irc client on ig/nig combo.
also /friends /shit etc were fuxed up
fixed auto_join to only join channels when the user doing the invite is
on the bot list and authorized for that channel.
01/25/96
well we fuxed with the user_list shit_list stuff.. maybe now they'll be
working properly. /userlist will display user's on the user list. need to
expand that info at some point in time. /add_user should check the current
channel for the nick being added and reinit the info if found. not done yet
though. Some other functions may well be broken now though :) anything using
cluster will need some reworking as we now store the userhost together
instead of separately like before. Fixed some fuckup that either plutonium
or comstud created.. you never ever ever ever malloc some memory and then
started ++ the pointer to it. This really fux's up the memory manager :)
This fix by itself fixed most SIGSEV trouble we were having. user/host fixes
maybe put back in if it proves that this would be more advantegous. Release
this version to Lifendel and BuddhaX possibly Jondalar to get a couple
possible operating versions. Couple of small fixes to the bot list. Save bot
list done on /savelist. Auto join channel on invite is setup to only join
on invite from recognized bots on the bot_list and the authorized channel
for that bot. Should solve most problems with joining 50 channels like
#spank_the_monkey_all_night_long type of deals :)
01/26/96
well modified a shitload of source to get more compatible with EPIC. Comstud
is a idiot. May as well of started from scratch than use any of his source
in this client. Plutonium ain't much better though for using it. Anyways,
because of the wholesale changes in the client, some bugs may be present..
/notify nick is working sorta... it don't notify you unless you ask whether
someone is online. gotta fix that. status functions changed to use static
variables instead of malloc'g em everytime you update. This increases the
speed of the update considerably. added a %D for dcc stats on current
transfer. added a function ltoa and a dcc_active function. Replaced whole
file output.c with EPIC version as I accidently deleted mine :)
01/28/96
ripped out the /aop /shit /friend /beepmsg .. code wasn't working on solaris
so fuck it. I'll rewrite so it's better, faster cleaner. we have da
technology :). /adduser does the /aop stuff anyways. and other than the
/shit the others were of limited value.
01/29/96
ripped out da old irc_io and key binding routines. replaced em with the
ones from EPIC beta6. it looks alot cleaner and seems faster. Fixed a small
buglet with the double_status line and creating windows.. when the window
was marked hidden we had a problem with deleting the window. Fixed the
vars.h and keys.h to use enums like epic.. this gets rid of a problem I had
when I added a variable and forgot to type make in the include dir. Added
bonus is the client is now smaller. Almost 20k smaller now. Fixed little
buglet with static declared variables.. I though they were always set to
zero on declaration. obviously not. Status line was hit with this little
buglet.
01/30/96
oh why oh why did I not start with EPIC.. :) ahh well. I've replaced the
brain dead routine for opening a file now.. This version searches the path
for the file you want to load. It checks for .gz and .Z extensions and
uncompresses the file if needed. It slices it dices it... it... much better
than before with 10 copies of the same routine in the code.
02/05/96
So many changes and I haven't documented them :) EPIC7 and BitchX are
sharing there alias's file and a bunch of other stuff. Fixed quite a few
bugs I introduced as a result of this. which means there are bugs lurking.
ie. /alias save and then PageUp through the screen will core.. Probably
something to do with the size of that particular cz.irc alias. Changed
UserList a little and what it does. Delayed Auto-op is now working.
Userlevel for autoop has to be >= 50 in order for it to work. /adduser -nick
will now delete the user from the list. /bot -nick will delete the nick from
the internal bot list. Rewrote a couple Comstud crap routines for masskicks
and stuff. they woUld be too slow on a large channel. Now they should be
alot quicker. I need to re-rewrite them to share alot of the code that is
common between masskicks/mass-deops/massbans etc... they almost do the exact
same thing, only differance is the semantics of the operation. Now have an
idea of how to do /dcc queue sends, so I guess that'll be next on the list
of things to-do. Also removed dead-code all over the client. Fixed a couple
of small EPIC7 bugs in the process as well. Hope they appreciate the effort.
02/05/96
fixed bug with alias save from cz.irc.. Seems the line was being split a few
too many times for the liking of ircii.. Increased the number of times a
line can be split and problem is solved until the next time.. 80 * 80 should
be enough for now. Scrollback and ansi don't mix well at this point in time
although ansi can be turned off.. it does however not make for a pretty
sight.
020796
due to popular request I've started re-implementing shitlist's.
Modified the way auto-op delay is done... using a callback timer function
now.. Maybe this will be easier?
020896
Modified get_reason to accept a nick which is then used to help form
automated reasons like in kicks and stuff. This file is called reasons and
should be installed in the ~/.BitchX directory. A %s placed in the string
will be replaced with the nickname. fixed reasons on the shitlist, was fuxed
up. started looking for a good place to place the check_auto routine which
does Aop and shitlist's. Made the client to a automatic who on join to aid
in setting the userlist access. This needs to be done cleaner. Fixed /dirln
to display the last notice instead of the last msg.. stupid me.. EPIC don't
expand_twiddle filenames at all... so therefore we do. especially when we do
a rename on a file using ~/
020996
automatic WHO <channel> is not a brite idea on large channels.. So we needed
to add some special logix to whoreply and numeric 315 to fix it. We still to
a WHO on join but we turn off the display an pick up the nicks anyway. This
allows the userlist to get synced with the channel on join. Otherwise we'd
need to type /w in order to sync it when we join. Six of one, half dozen of
the other. Fixed up link looking we think. Should be compatible with
Ctoolz now and is done alot cleaner than what I had previously. LLOOK will
display all servers in the list. /set llook on/off turns this feature
on/off. LINKS (standard command) might have differant effects depending
on the setting of the variable llook. little problem with the channel mode
indicator fixed. we were not blanking it properly on channel switch..
This caused the mode indicator to seem to lock on the previous channel.
Small change made to names.c:remove_channel concerning removing the current
channel from the list. Limited nethack protection built in.. Defaults to
off. /set HACKING 0/1/2/3 will turn this on. users noT on the userlist or the
internal botlist will be de-op'd. Users on the shitlist are whatever you
set it too :). So this should all work fine. Yeah right... One result of
this change is that we needed to change the args to check-auto in names.c to
pass the current channel according to get_channel_by_refnum
021096
Fixed problem with being klined from a server and core dumping. Numeric 465
was the problem and the lousy code contained therein. Also changed the way
we handle adding users to the userlist. If the nick to adduser is given as
with ! and @ in it we do not annouce to the user what has happened. This
fixes a little problem when reloading the userlist on startup, we don't
really want to announce it every time we reload.
021196
another buglet fixed when connecting to a server you don't have
authoRization for. We now successfully try a couple of times and then prompt
user to give us another servEr name, just like it's supposed to. Remember to
check your BitchX.sav file if something is not working properly. I've been
bitten by this several times now. Small bug concerning on exec -name
processes coredumping. Thanks Driz for sending me that TiME.irc script.
021496
finally fixed server changes and modes once and for all. Channels rejoins
will be attempted on server change. Channel modes on server change are
found. So no more lost modes and channels crashes.
021596
Lifendel noticed a strange problem with the msglog. This might be fixed..
Looks like a old EPIC/ircii bug as well though.. limit checking should have
been implemented in both... passing the address of a char to a function
that's expecting a char * is not good... Mailed to ircii mailing list.
Lameness in /cdcc send is now fixed up.. This should now work instead of
core dumping.. Just needed to do some error checking. /cdcc notice now shows
you what it sent to the channel instead of just sending without showing the
user.. Added /ls and /ps commands. Could add others if needed. Fixed /j to
not require a leading # on channel. This doesn't fix the problem with
scripts but helps when not using a script.
021696
Added a call to delay-check_auto in numbers.c numeric 315 which allows us to
do auto-ops and autokicks on channel join. The actual work is done on a
timer of 3 seconds which fixes the problem where you join a channel but
don't have ops yet but try to do a bunch of kicks and bans. I just scan the
list of users and shit's to find and if they are on either then add a timer
call to check_auto. Seems to woRk well in limited testing.
022496
Added a function called $flash() which returns a nasty flash sequence. /eval
+send $flash() will flash a channel :) .. Due to popular request /set cloak
on now cloaks /ctcp userinfo, finger, time and some others from users.
022596
protected users are now working so be careful in the use of this feature.
Re-ops/Deops/Kicks/KickBans are all implemented. Had another look at /Ub and
bans these might be working properly again.
022696
ctcp invite has been implemented. user has to have >24 level and you have to
have op's and be on the that channel. delay opz now does moe checking than
before. it won't do anything unless the user is on the channel and not-opped.
Fixed Makefile.in and possibly configure. We'll see what solaris thinks
about the changes to term.c. A new function called $repeat() has been added
from EPIC8 soUrce. repeat(2 test file) produces "test file test file" as
it's output. Might be handy for greeting someone :)
022796
Fixed Flooding.. It was never finding a user in the userlist. Added /ctcp
whoami command. Fixed /unuser command to actually delete the proper user.
Fixed terminal support. I had upgraded the configure script and some defines
in the defs.h.in was forgotten. Caused some strangeness of sorts
022796
I removed the fake files list. This allowed phoenix with fluff to work.
Modified parse_command to allow //^ type commands. Added AJOIN command.
Added a bunch of Ctoolz scripts I found to the package. cz-pent, lithium
chaos and druid scripts are now included. Added a new status line function.
It returns the number of times you have been msg'd while away. %^ on the
status line returns the count. Fixed a coRe dump on msg flood problem.
Made a new /set called MSGCOUNT to store the count of recieved msg's while
away. This was done for any scripts that might want to use it. kludge'd
around ^M's on display screen by checking if the eol is ^M nul it, in
add_to_screen. Added bitchsay to start replacing the use of say. Added a new
function called $isnum() returns 1 if the input is a number else 0. accepts
numbers, - and # as a number. Fluff modz compat function.
022896
Flashes and ansi shit should be much more stable now. Only valid ansi
sequence we accept starts with esc. All other sequences are done like normal
irc ie bold em and make em printable. Had to make a special case in screen.c
just to handle this case. Epic suffers from this as well. ^N ^X and some
other chars are deadly to a vt100 screen. We still suffer if someone sets
for example a topic with a ansi bomb in it. Fixed Channel sync for those
scripts that like to hook who reply's just moved a check I use in parse.c
whoreply so the hook never happens..
030196
Working on whois queue's and ison notification. Added hard Userhost
Signon's. /set HARD_UH_NOTIFY on/off to enable or disable this. A new hook
for it as added as well. Command line parser from Epic was added. Have to
remove the server_list notification routines that are from epic.. too
fucking slow on startup. 23 servers and 20 NOTIFY's and look at the lag
indicator :) Although i did improve the speed somewhat by using just the
connected to servers it's still not enough.
030296
You can now specifY a string for BOLD/UNDERLINE/REVERSE of /ignore and
kther commands. Why?? you ask, well we can now use ansi escape's for those
strings. This saves us from having to use a script /on numeric which speeds
up the client. /dcc now shows the chat connections and then a graphical list
of /dcc file connections if there are any.
030496
Added some statistics for a channel. New command is CHSTATS [channel].
This displays things that have been seen on a channel from join. Fixed up
sync_user_list. And created a new function check_sync. We now do a mode
#channel b, a mode #channel and a who #channel on join. I think NOTIFY
needs to be put on a timer though, so when we first logon notify is put on a
10 second timer. each time after though the results are immediate. New
commands AddIdle/UnIdle/ShowIdle have been added. AddIdle <#channel>
[seconds] to start idle checking on a channel. Every two minutes we check
the channel for new idlers. Unidle <#channel> removes idlechecking and
showidle [#channel] show idle users on a channel. Structures for nicks and
channels have changes thanks to some advice I received from Sheik. Fixed a
small bug in .25 when I changed a structure. Changed new command chstats to
accept -all as a parameter. Idle kicks need to be modified a little to slow
em down :)
030696
Added new functionality :) changed parameters to $open to also accept a
mode so we now have $open(filename R B) for reading binary and
$open(filename W B) for writing binary. without the B writing is done in
append mode with the B files can be overwritten. This change was made for
compatibility with Ctoolz. Also added was a function called $bcopy() it takes
two parameters both file descriptors which must be opened using $oPen. What
does this all mean?? Well we can now play a .snd on events such as receiving
a message and quitting the program. The following alias shows how.. This was
ripped from Cubic Zirconium.
Alias playf {
if ([$Voice]==[ON]) {
@ rf = open(~/.CZSounds/$0 R B)
@ wf = open(/dev/audio W B)
@ bcopy($rf $wf)
@ close($rf)
@ close($wf)
}}
One word of warning though. The copying blocks, ie until the copy is
finished we can do nothing. So make your event sounds short oR else you'll
be waiting for awhile until the copy is done. Added two new
functions $epic() returns 1, $bitchx() returns 1 and a $winsize() which
returns the size of the specified window or the current window if nothing
passed in.
030796
Added more on hooks server_notice_local_kill server_notice_foreign_kill
server_notice_fakes server_notice_fakes_mychannel
server_notice_server_kill.. if you want to know what these are about take
a look at notice.c parse_notice() function.
030996
Fixed a bug in notify add_to_userhost_queue . This may have caused seg's on
SunOS 5 and definitely caused a small slowdown in joining a channel when we
first started the client actually about 40 secs of slowdown. I might have
broken hard_uh_notify though. Added command /Addbot to replace /bot .. It
makes more sense with /adduser and /unuser and /Addbot and /UnBot. Channel
will default to * if left out. This may also fix AIX compiles.
031096
Added Bhelp command. Ctoolz.help must be renamed to BitchX.help and placed
in your .BitchX directory in order to work. Complaining does help and it was
actually a fairly simple command to add, we are using builtin array building
commands. In my small tests of this function it seems to work almost exactly
as Ctoolz chelp does. Started adding /dcc resend and reget functions. I may
have broken dcc in this case though. Sure hope not, dcc.c is a mess. Added
new script from Zircon. It includes a new help file with functions from sCZ.
031196
Added new Ctoolz functions $addtabkey() and $gettabkey() support. These
functions take single parameters. addtabkey takes a nickname and adds it to
the head of a list. gettabkey takes a number either 1 or -1 which is then
used to search either forwards or backwards through the list. The most
recent nickname on the list is returned first, and then added to the end of
the list. Really fixed HARD_UH_NOTIFY. I was only using it on the first
server. If you went to another server normal ison functions were used and
the userhost was not. //^ functions should now work and SWITCH command from
EPIC was added to the client.
031296
Sheik made a good suggestion to add a dcc stats command so I did :)
/dcc stats gives statistics on dcc's this client has done such as Min and
Max rates for both incoming and outgoing files. Bytes in and Bytes out as
well as a total file count received and sent. Added /usage command which
gives CPU statistics. Fixed /uptime and /chanst to look a little better as
well as give some memory statistics. EPIC script directory is included. This
is version .29 already. Enabled NON_BLOCKING CONNECTS. Had to make a couple
of fixes here and there, but it looks like it's working. Re-visited idle
kicks and we now mode +b then kick the user. one minute later we remove the
ban. Added more to /chanst command. Fixed linux kernel for getrusage() :)
and sent the patch to Linus. Maybe it'll make it into kernel 1.3.73. Fixed
/dcc stats command to correctly display bytes sent/recieved. Fixed $1- bug
that has plagued EPIC/Ctoolz/SCROLLZ/BitchX clients. Sometimes though a line
of output seems to be lost with fluff mods xdcc commands. Don't ever take a
negative index on a "" string. You can get odd results. NON-BLOCKING is
working for /dcc but logins seem to have a problem. Hard to fix though as
gdb gets sig-pipes all the time. Added /RELOAD command which reloads your
BitchX.sav file. Had another look at check_auto and friends. It worked, so
wonders never cease. We now use a wildcard in the nick so we match on the
*!*user@*.sasknet.ca if this causes trouble we may have to take alook at it
again. A variable was added called IDLE_CHECK, it's the time in seconds
between idle checks. MAX_IDLEKICKS sets the maximum number of idle kicksperformed at one time. MSGCOUNT is something I added awhile back. A user
should never have to set this. As it the number of recieved msgs while
away.
031396
Changed some things around. Created a structure to hold channel stats in.
When we join a channel and its not in the list it's added to the list. When
we leave the channel it is not deleted. if we then rejoin a channel on this
list the stats from before are copied over. Complicated, yes. But it solves
a problem with the BitchX.sav list and the information stored there.
Eventually a lot more info may get stored in it. Such as the banlist. The
current channel's bans are already stored in the server_list channel list
structure for each channel. I want to rewrite the /unban /ban routines to
use this information.
031496
busy working on non-blocking /dcc resend and reget's.. they should be
working now that I fixed the error of my ways. /dcc glist is now looking
alot better.
031696
Changed /ctcp user invite channel to be a little more aggresive in it's
check for validation. So if the user is found on the userlist, and the
userlevel is greater than 24 and that user is allowed on that channel, then
we allow the invite, announcing to you that we are inviting someone.
Otherwise access is denied. Finally got a chance to try /dcc resend and
reget in operation. It works so far. It's compatible with Ctoolz and prob
Scrollz as well.
031796 BitchX .32
Added new command /cset. To start with some sets are put into
a default channel list set. This default is copied to the new channel as you
join it. These channel sets then become specific for the channel. The
default channel options can be changed by modifying include/config.h. They
can be changed while running using /set. Userlist and shitlist are fixed up.
Seems that we were being a little redundant. Also make sure that we use
wild_match on both sides of a string. a New command /reload to reload you
BitchX.sav file into the client. The default kick reasons file has been
renamed to BitchX.reasons instead of reasons. I seen the new Ctoolz /dcc
glist but after some careful though decided that I don't wanna tie the
client into the script. Nick Kills and collides should be identified
properly in oper mode. Operator kills local and foreign are differianted.
I've removed the /msg user -invite channel stuff. Use /ctcp instead. This
only allowed people on the userlist to invite themselves, but I didn't see a
reason to have two differant methods.
031896
Link looking is fixed once again. Forgot about hooks and what happens when
someone hooks a numeric on me. Started working on various other flood types,
such as nick, deop, pub and kick floods. What a weird bunch of stuff.
031996
kick on deop flood, kick on kick flood, kick on pub flood and kick on nick
change floods are now implemented within the client. They can be setup
channel specifically or globally for all channels. /ctcp ops channel and
/ctcp unban channel are implemented. Also the user list can be turned off
for specific channels as can the shitlist. Doesn't sound like i've changed
much, but some major changes internally to support all this. Renamed a
command called /nig to /unig put back in /unigh as well. (These are unignore
commands). Added /dcc path on/off to remove the path from /dcc'd files on
display.
032096
/dcc was a little bit broken, nothing too serious. Fixed I think. /dcc has
alot of commands the "standard" clients do not. Such as stats, paths, quiet,
auto, status line update, glist, resend, reget and active. /dcc stats
returns a status indicator of various things seen while on irc. paths turns
off display of the download path of the files in list. quiet toggles quiet
mode for dcc transfers. Auto is a toggle for /set dcc_autoget. status line
updates are meant for script writers. glist is a graphical display of active
dcc's. resend and reget are for aborted transfers, and active displays the
limits and bounds of various set's involving the number of active dcc's and
the limit on the number of active dcc's allowed. Also /dcc ? returns a help
screen. Added /Qk foR quote kicks. BitchX.reason is used from the .BitchX
directory.
032196
Hmmm discovered that I was hooking numeric 365 end of links number and not
doing my end of links routine, therefore link looking for only partially
working depending on what script you were using. Fixed /dcc chat #channel.
Problem was that we can cancel /dcc transfers by number now and of course we
use a # to denote this. Well this causes a problem with anyone dumb enough
to try and chat a channel. So we are now a little more paraniod about what
we'll accept as a dcc number. We also couldn't close that particular kind of
chat as we thought it was a number and treated it as such. We now reset the
timers and counts when we toggle a /cset on a channel. Otherwise some
strange things can happen. Right Jondalar :) Fixed a problem with mode
changes. I was incrementing the deop count for both +o and -o cases. Added a
new /user parameter. /user -stats returns the internal counts for deops,
kicks, publics and nicks changes. /user -ops -stats shows stats for only the
ops and /user -nonops -stats show stats for the nonops. Non-Blocking /dcc
connects work great. Non-blocking servers connects are working well. Only
problem seems to be that the Non-Blocking /dcc never time out. Have to have
a look at that. Anyone have any ideas on what a reasonable time-out would
be? Corrected channel statistics to better reflect what is actually
happening on a channel. Had a couple of mistakes here and there. Channel
splits might disturb these statistics though.
032396 BitchX .35
Lotza bug fixes. hooking the 251-255 numerics now. /dcc send *.zip was broke
due to some stupidity on my part. gettabkey and addtabkey now take an
optional second parameter AUTOREPLY. This second parameter defines what list
the is nick taken from. The default is the tabkey array. Two new functions
added to retrieve the last message and the last notice were created.
$lastnotice() and $lastmessage(). Added a sort function. So $sort( one two
three) returns one three two in sorted order :) poor example. Merged EPIC 3
changes for alias.c,dcc.c, ctcp.c and others which fixes several functions.
dcc.c fixed for files of size 0. These files are automatically announced but
not autoget'd. If you do get the file, then it is rejected. All /dcc rejects
are also sent to the offending user as a notice. Last msg was fixed to
include the userhost of the user and the time the message was sent. Created
diff files for irc.c, dcc.c and server.c for EPIC development to have a look
at. Fixed WallMsg to check for arguments. If none then print usage message
and return. /dirlm and /dirln can take a optional second argument to specify
the channel to send to. May have fixed the problem with being set away on
server join. We now auto-join all previous channels on server change.
This soLution is more elegant than what was previously implemented.
Added /UnAjoin to remove a channel from your autojoin list. Channel has to
have been added to this list with /AJoin otherwise nothing happens. Added
some changes from EPIC 3-patch3. Still won't add the broken part though.
Horrible kludge done to /dcc glist. I actually set errno to zero. This fixes
a divide by zero error I haven't been able to find anywhere. The actual
divide by zero isn't happening within dcc_glist, but somewhere else in the
code. I added memmove() from inn distro for those systems that don't have
memmove(). I needed a feature of memmove so it now included. It only gets
compiled if HAVE_MEMMOVE is defined 0 in def.h. the source is in ircaux.c.
Please let me know if anyone has trouble compiling this.
032596
fuked up on /savelist if you have /AJOIN's defined it'll lock. Arrggh
everyone was wondering what the new flag +r meant on the usermode.. Misread
a patch was the problem.. you couldn't unset it period because it did mean
you were logg'ed into a server., but it should never have been displayed.
Changed behavior of /dump. Be very cautious with this. It removes all
aliases or ons or vars or binds or everything loaded. But first everything
is saved to BitchX.alias. Changed p_privmsg. First we check if the user is
ignored then we check we do ctcp and stuff. Changed keys.c and config.h.
EMACS_BINDS is defined now and ALLOW_STOP_IRC define was removed so we can
always stop irc. Added /DF for disk free command. Added /banstat to show
channel bans optional parameters are channel and/or nick. I'm now using the
internal banlist which makes channel unbans reasonably fast :) It sounds
like i've done alot here, but most of this was already implemented.. Just
needed some "glue" functions.
032696
Chasing some bug in /dcc with AIX systems. Fixed a bug with /msg nick cdcc
and nothing else on command line. Fixed /dcc glist. now we can send files of
0-length but cannot receive em. /dcc glist doesn't crash if we are sending
one. Trying to find a fix for a memory problem involving too many m_strdup's
and not enough new_free's. Fixed a problem Frisbee found with not being able
to display bans on a channel when you're not in it. Nice thing is EPIC has
the same bug :). Lifendel says that with more than 12 dcc's he crashes. Not
sure yet what this is about. Fizzle_B says that his client tends to "lockup"
for about 10 secs. I think this has to do with hard_uh_notify and the amount
of notify's we're getting back. I started using USERHOST which is better
than ISON. ISON does tend to do this as we have to send individual requests
for each nick. USERHOST we can send 5 at a time. BlackJac mentioned that
phoenix runs fine with BitchX.. This has actually been working for awhile
now. Looked at Hellshocks dcc.c and whois.c but I don't think I'll add em
into the client. His modifications involve sending ansi codes directly from
the client. Personally I feel this should be the responsibility of the
script itself. Sheik agrees with me on this. /ignore works a little
differantly than expected. You need to specify the full nick!name@host where
nick, name or host can have a wildcard. we can now ignore _Elfoo_'s lame
attempts of getting BitchX. Everyone should add /ignore
*Elfoo*!*@*.central.com ALL into their .ircrc file. Changed cdcc doffer. We
now don't need to use #1 we can use 1. Changed xdcc send to accept either #1
or 1 as the pack number. A queued message is sent to the user if our
active dcc count is greater than DCC_SEND_LIMIT. dcc queues are implemented
but not very well tested.
032896 .37 released
Changed /dump. has a new parameter FILE which dumps to a file. It dumps
everything to a file called BitchX.dump in your $HOME directory. Also had
forgotten to dump keys for ALL parameter. Added changes from e3000s5 as
well. /fe has been changed and a couple of bugs in alias.c as well. Fixed a
overzealous m_strdup problem in BitchX/EPIC alias's. Fixed nslookup to work
on nicknames as well as hosts. Zircon sure finds them bugs :).
As much as I don't like it $unlink() and $rmdir() now are doing
expand_twiddle so stuff like $unlink(~/file.zip) expands to your $HOME
directory. Please be cautious with this. One nice thing is that low-level
functions like unlink don't accept wildcards at all. It has to be an exact
filename. loaded scripts and shit on numeric 001 and 004. Not quite sure how
well this will work, but what the hey. This has the benefit of us loosing
the Welcome to the irc network nickname crap, because we can hook it.
032996
Fixed IRCUMODE so it works foR all servers. You may get a mode msg twice
though. Replaced dcc.c with one from EPIC, with my mods. We'll see if this
fixes the problem of AIX crashing the sender. I'm thinking that maybe a
misplaced FD_SET is the problem or a FD_CLR. One benefit of loading scripts
before anything else is that the client is snappier on startup.. Not much
left for almost complete Ctoolz compatibility. Guess we'd better open the
file before seeking to the end on resend's. Fixed dcc_dldir problems when i
replaced dcc.c with one from epic with bitchx mods. /Channel was broke. If
there were no channel modes a NULL was passed to the output. fixed dcc paths
problem in dcc.c, I might however have been overzealous in my use of it. dcc
numbers are reset back to one on /dcc close function. Have to wait and see
what happens when an error occurs. Fixed another couple of epic bugs. One
with revw. It should never return a NULL and another in the MatchingBracket
routine for $revw( without the closing bracket. Also ran epic regression to
a successful completion after fixing a couple of bitchx errors in
function_rpattern and function_rfilter.
040396
Added changes from Epic3-6. Added nethack prot of a sort. 3 levels are
provided. 1 gives no warning but deops the splitter. 2 gives a warning and
deops the splitter. 3 gives a warning only. /cset hacking sets a channel and
+set hacking sets global changes. The user has to be on the userlist or your
botlist in order for them not to be de-op'd on a split. Added four new
commands /chglevel, /chgprot, /chgchan and /chgautoop to change user stats
on the fly. /chglevel nick number will change that users stats. This change
is not permaneantly saved until you /savelist. The others are the same
format. They should work, but if there are any problems let me know.
CAUTION. with this nethack prot turned on you could possibly really fuck a
channel badly.
Fixed a problem with PUBFLOOD. I wasn't checking to see if WE had ops on the
channel we were protecting. I never knew there were so many script writers
out there :)
Fixed a small long-standing problem, noT a bug with the userlist. If we
added a user to the userlist we had to do a WHO command to setup the user
display properly. Not anymore. It's updated for every server and all
channels on add or on modify.
040496
Fixed a problem with auto_rejoin. Fixed the /clear being missing.
NHprot is now a little more conservative about what it considers to be a
nethack. /Adduser will now take a list of channels instead of just a single
channel. Wildcards are allowed still. Someone pointed out that wildcards
/cdcc's are not great at the moment. If we happen to create a file while
offering of a type the matches the wildcard, it is sent out as well. I'll
have to make a list instead. Added 5 new hooks USERS, BANS and DCC.
USERS displays information from the userlist and the shitlist. BANS is for
the channel bans. DCC_STAT, DCC_STATF and DCC_STATF1 is for the /dcc glist
information. DCC_STAT returns info on chats, raw etc. DCC_STATF returns info
on files and DCC_STATF1 returns info on percentage, sizes etc for the
current file. Maybe hellshock will realize that this is better than just
adding ansi to the client.
040896 .41 released
Added some more hooks for script writers. DCC_HEADER, CDCC_QUEUE,
CDCC_QUEUEH, CDCC_HEADER, CDCC_PACK and BOTLIST. We now strip ansi on ALL
says, puts etc. What does this mean? Well thanks to Sheik, we can no longer
be ansi bombed. Fixed some problems with /server connects to K-lined servers
that caused core to be dumped.
040996
Fixed chelp to allow blank lines instead of locking the client. Otiluke is
working on a bitchx help file. Was asking about ansi codes :). Took hooks
out of /dcc list they were breaking things I don't want to break. Reconnect
is kinda fixed. Too many reconnect's quickly will confuse the client. This
is an effect of non-blocking connects. May have fixed the core on instant op
on join problem. Added voice to internal structures. /lk won't kick someone
with voice now. Replaced all occurances of gettimeofday except in ircaux.c
with call to get_time(). Fixed a bunch of warnings with this. Fixed several
kther warnings. Fixed the negative time on channel synch by using time_diff
instead of trying to calculate the time diff by subtracting. Made changes to
notice.c parse_server_notice so it actually uses the /set SHOW_*'s in
vars.c. Made numbers.c USERS send all info that is required to the server,
this might fix the problem some are having with some servers. Someone was
asking about showing connections to a server.. I think this is actually a
server function. We should see them now if we're allowed to. Changed
check_channel_match so it's more generic. We can then use it for
PROTECT_CHANNELS var. so PROTECT_CHANNELS can now be a comma separated list
of channels to protect. If the CTOOLZ_DIR doesn't exist, it is created.
041196 .42 was released.
Problem someone had with USER not enough params was caused by bad
permissions on /etc/passwd. So i may restore the old behaviour of cheating
:). Found a little problem with the new hooks in /dcc glist. forgot to
continue before the hook. fixed a little bug in process_incoming_listen.
Seems to not like a -1 passed to FD_CLR. previous problem was actaully in
function_listen.. it should have required a port number. Fixed finger nick
to actually finger someone. fixed CDCC_PACK hook so description is at the
end of the hook'd data instead of in the middle. Added new command /statsk
what it hopefully does is a grep for server bans matching a certain
nick!user@host. Worked on /dcc glist some more. Changed some hooks in cdcc.c
CDCC_PREPACK from CDCC_HEADER. CDCC_POSTPACK added. Has the same info as the
PREPACK. Patch from epic e3000s7 added. SAVEFILE_LIST and SAVEFILEPOST_LIST
and SAVEFILEPRE_LIST hooks added. Modified Makefile's to create BitchX
client instead of irc client. modified /fuck to do a /addshit nick channel 3
as well.. Just like a hackbot. For a synopis of what was changed in the EPIC
patch read the doc/UPDATES file.. Several new commands were added, some
restrictions removed from some others, some useless code was removed.
041396 .43 released
Thanks to piraeus for adding color to the main BitchX ascii. I made a couple
of changes for those that have terminals that cannot display ansi. /set
display_ansi determines whether or not the screen is displayed in color or
not. Some major internal modifications have been made. These are related to
the way that userlist entries are looked up on the internal userlist. The
lookup's don't happen all the time. instead we store pointers to the
userlist on the channel nicklist. this should speed things up quite abit.
Have to thank sheik for pointing this method to me. Modified some
structures, and hooks quite alot as well. Things like the botlist now have a
aop and prot value so the bot doesn't have to be on the userlist and the
botlist at the same time. Several hooks have changed the number of params
being passed. Added parts of whowas.c sheik donated to me :).. Has the
effect of speeding up re-joins because the info is actually stored
differently. Course this will be buggy until i figure out exactly how to use
it. What it does is on parts' it save the user info into a list, on join it
check's the list and if found uses that info. Otherwise it just creates the
info again. Saves somes lookups on join an other stuff.. names.c uses most of
the calls for this function in case your interested.
041496 .44alpha :P
So many changes made in things internal, and not documented :) Most of the
changes were nitpicking things. But we found some lameness in the code as
well. ex. On join a entry is made on the channel nicklist. On /who these
entries are recreated again after being removed from the list. Duh. User
stats are now kept and a new command added. /Nwhois nick shows stats for a
user and this was the cause of most of the fixes. /chanst should be working
much nicer now. I put the whowas nicks on an expire timer as well. Some
changes from ircii-2.8.15 were made to the code. One noticable one is that
+window double now sets the double status bar. /set DOUBLE was removed as a
result of this change. New commands are UNTIL and UNLESS to complement IF
and WHILE commands. Some changes made to the non-blocking code from
ircii-2.8.15 as well.
041796 .44magnum released :)
Little bug in the new windowing discovered and fixed. Had to do with tog
opervision (hidden window) and then switching back and forth. you'd loose a
line of display when you did this. /cdcc timer would core. /cdcc save
[filename] command added to save your offer list. /cdcc load [filename] to
reload the offer list. You can reload this file offer list several times.
/cdcc secure will only allow people on the userlist to get files from you.
It is a toggle command. defaults to off
042396 .45 release
Added new cdcc.c from ananda. Modified for BitchX hooks. I like it because
it's simple and elegant.
042496
Fixed a problem with /redirect help. Made DISPLAY_ANSI on/off mean exactly
that. If off all ansi strings are removed from output. We can define the
default behaviour of this in the Makefile. May have fixed a problem with
redirect, where garbage is displayed to the redirect. Changed /k to have a
reason if none given. /tban for interactive delete of bans added. /bantype
started. Should allow me to get rid of a bunch of useless almost duplicate
functions. strtoul is missing on some systems. We now check during configure
and supply a version if necessary. Same with memmove. Changes so that
.bitchxrc is loaded instead of .ircrc if foUnd. else .ircrc is used.
Fixed /bk of a non-existant user. /nwhowas to show the whowas queue. Fixed
/fuck of a user not on the channel to work properly. Lamerz beware. Removed
sitekickban and siteban commands in preparation of using /banstat.
050196
Haven't updated this with all the fixes. /fuck should really work now.
/banstat is implemented. /dcc glist now displays reget's and resends.
Offered and waiting are also possible. /dcc glist what a pain in the ass.
/bantype is implemented. A Screw ban is the same as a screw ban in phoenix
and many other scripts. It was also a pain to implement. /bantype takes 4
differant types of bans. dcc of small files or fairly large files over a
fast link could cause a floating point exception in some cases. Fixed a
small bug in /cdcc load ... the /n was confusing the client. Added
flood_checking. We will flood_check if FLOOD_PROTECTION is on. If the
userlevel is < 90 we will kick user from the channel if FLOOD_KICK is set.
And finally we will do a timed auto-ignore of the user for 10 minutes.
Several new hooks added at the request of Zircon. USERS, USERS_HEADER, STAT
and STAT_HEADER. Fixed a screw-up I had with glob. Forgot to include the
source for glob.c and glob.h :) If you need this you'll still have to edit
config.h to define NEED_GLOB if you want to include this functionality.
050696
Due to some stupidity some types of floods were not being set properly. In
some cases we were double incrementing variables. Fixed /unig to actually
un-ignore a nick!. Fixed LameKick's to do a actual kick. Seems some changes
made previously to speed up access to the userlist has broken a couple of
functions here and there. We were forgetting to resync the channel userlist
after removing a user from the userlist. This could cause a crash. Shitlist
was not working. Fixed. shitlist & userlist were not updating the channel
nicklist properly. sync'd the botlist and the channel userlist better. Added
a new function $userver(nick) which returns the nicks server which we happen
to be storing in the the channel nicklist. Added a new command /sk to
perform a server kick :). Server can be wildcarded and a optional channel
can be specified otherwise the current channel is used. Turned FLOOD_PROT
off by default. Increased default FLOOD_RATE and FLOOD_USERS and
FLOOD_AFTER's. Memory is cheap :) Changed Screw bans to use a * for the
nickname. NetSplit hacking is being worked on.
051096 .49 released on net
Merged changes from EPIC 3001 beta. $mkdir(), $umask() and /hostname for
dynamic IP hosts were added. Not sure exactly what /hostname is needed for
though. Need to look at local_ip and re-add that to the client if possible.
server info for user was not quite right. /ping hopefully fixed up. Files
and chat's can now be encrypt'd when starting the transfer. /dcc send
panasync file.zip -encrypt mypasswd will enable this "feature". Removed some
lamege from EPIC beta involving malloc. Fixed up flood prot even more. A
separate /set CDCC_FLOOD_RATE and /set CDCC_FLOOD_AFTER is implemented. Do
we need a separate CDCC_FLOOD_KICK as well? FLOOD_KICK var is a global var.
Fixed a long standing bug with channel creation. Seems that we were not
getting the value of the proper variable. Added a new set NAMES_ON_JOIN
SHOWIDLE and SHOWIDLE_HEADER hooks provided by request. SHOWIDLE returns
nick, host, userlevel in the userlist and number of seconds idle.
052096 .50 released (aprox date)
Been busy at a new job, so not much done recently. I found a silly stupid
bug in check_flooding. Fixed /unig to work once again. I think I need a new
wild_match routine, that checks both params for a wildcard. Added /cdcc
ptimer command. Added a set for the default dcc timeout value. A notice is
sent to the other end saying we closed the dcc. _CDCC_CLOSE_IDLE_TIME is the
set for this. Added /findports command.
052996 Released .52
course flooding seems to be a little more difficult than I thought. Some
things have been put on hold due to this problem. I have fixed /kb and
friends to do a proper screw ban. Fixed /dcc timeouts. We now default to 35
seconds for a chat/raw etc and 3 * 35 for file sends/resends/regets etc.
Fixed a small flooding problem in the timer as well. wildcard sends are now
implemented a little better but I'm still not happy with it. Fixed the Hyper
DCC lamage with dcc multi sends. Fixed /dcc list to not core dump..
dcc_time() was a problem here. /set autokick_on_Version on/off for those
versioning fools. /set mircs on/off for something EFudd wanted. Think it has
todo with /ctcp sound. More work on cdcc stuff. /set cdcc_security is a
numeric variable which can be set to the userlevel required to get any cdcc
response from you. This effectively cut's out the cdcc flood problem if set
to anything greater than 0. Course then nobody can get a cdcc list other
than a user on the userlist. Also cdcc requests are ignored if there is
nothing offered. Flooders beware.
053196
Changed CDCC_PREPACK to include some dcc_stats by request. dcc_max_rate_out,
dcc_bytes_out, dcc_max_rate_in, dcc_bytes_in are added to this hook. Changed
behaviour of CDCC_QUEUE_LIMIT a little. If it's set to 0 then in effect
there is no queue limit. fixed dcc stats command. Fixed a problem with cdcc
and noThing on the offer list. Just pass through the mesg. /ctcp is a little
harder todo though. Modified /JOIN to check for a # if it's not there then
we add it. Otherwise we just pass the command. Don't forget about the /set
SEND_IGNORE_MSG. Also new is a cdcc.irc that can be modified to change the
output sent to a channel. It's basically an example of what to do. it'll
only work currently with scz-te.irc but this could be changed at your
convience. Changed behavior /cdcc offer to now accept a single filename on
the command prompt. So instead of prompting fOr a filename/description we
can then skip ahead to getting the description. Before you ask if we can
have multiple filenames on the prompt, I don't think this is possible from
the quick look I had at the code. Quickly implemented /cdcc minspeed
checking. It is in KB/s. So 5 would be 5KB/s. You can enter fractional Kb/s
as in 1.5KB/s as well. /cdcc timer was changed so it takes a number which is
then converted to minutes. We were just using seconds before.
060396 .53 Released
Fixed some lameness in cdcc again. involving DCC_SENDS_LIMIT and
DCC_QUEUE_LIMIT. Forget to check for a equal to 0 value which should
effectively disable both of these items. Changed config.h to have a default
value for DCC_SEND_LIMIT of 5. Changed CDCC_PREPACK once again added one
more parameter for a total of 13 output. We now output the minspeed as sent
by you. Changed CDCC_POSTPACK to retrieve same info as the CDCC_PREPACK.
Fixed dcc_check_idle to check for a 0 value on _CDCC_MINSPEED_TIME which
nullifies the speed checking. Do we want to have differant speeds for
differant packs? If the AUTO_REJOIN for a channel is set to any thing other
than 0 some wonderful things can happen. If you have a hacked identd client
installed, you can change your username as well. There are several examples
of type of identd client. cidentd-1.0.tgz is available from sunsite.unc.edu
somewhere but the source in pluto.c will need to be changed to support the
$(HOME)/.authlie instead of the $HOME/.noidentd file currently used. The
routine to make this all happen is called do_newuser() in pluto.c. Fixed
/boot so it don't segfault with no args. Fixed compilation on SunOS 4.1.4.
/cdcc doffer will now accept any number of arguements on either the command
line or the interactive prompt. /cdcc list will accept a pack number to
display. It then displays the files in a pack. /cdcc load and save functions
will take a optional filename argument. Default is to cdcc.save. File is
always relative to your home directory. Minor cosmetic changes to input's
in cdcc. /cdcc send and resend will now accept a filename. course we may
have a problem if the name of the file is a a number. A pack will be sent
matching the number first if possible before we check for a filename. Files
are taken from the current directory. /cdcc plist will take an optional
channel arguement. If given then that's the channel the plist is sent to.
Minimal checking is done on whether this is a valid channel or noT. A comma
separated list of channels is allowed. A sample script is provided for
script writers in order to provide some directions as to the use of the
hooks in cdcc. Added save of banwords command to savefile. Documented many
on hooks for script writers perusal. A couple of new hooks implemented.
CHANNEL_STAT for the /chanst command output. (32 parameters to this one).
USAGE hook for the usage of internal commands. Over the next couple of
versions of BitchX I expand the list of commands which can make use of this
particular hook. New Documentation and a modified BitchX.help file provided.
061096 .54 released
Ping fixed we think. ping is still in the CTCP_REPLY list though. if you
hook CTCP_REPLY be prepared to handle ping responses. Took another look at
kther floods. Fixed /repeat with a off by one error. Took time to make
usage mesg's use the new hook and function. Ping is fixed. added rest of
command for BanWords. UnBanWords/UnWordKick and ShowWord commands.
DCC_TRANSFER_STAT was broke. Forgot to remove a couple of parameters from
hook.c. Added a new function $help() which takes a filename and a subject.
It uses the filename the same way that /chelp does. It searches the list for
the subject in the same way as well. Information from the help file is only
loaded once.
061296 .55 Released
Added a new command /whereis foR looking up people that join and then leave
a channel and change nicks. Works well as long as they don't change servers
or there isn't more than one of them online at the same time or there
username doesn't change. Fixed up /Statsk which is a command for grepping
those pesky server bans. Changed chelp and $help(). Sorry script writers but
I decided to place the filename last as the parameter to $help(). This way
we can initialize it once and then forget it about passing the filename
altogether. chelp was changed to actually load the file on BitchX startup.
Reasons are that the help from the $help() function will overwrite the ones
that are loaded by chelp. So we preload the help, if they are overwritten
well not much we can do then except restart irc. $help() returns a long
string containing all information about a topic including the usage message.
I guess a hook for this might be nice as well. /cdcc minspeed's were a
little borked. Added a server sync routine. Fixed Channel keys being saved
after a part and a rejoin.
061496
Fixed /whereis if the user is still on the channel. Stupidity here. $help()
changed once again. $help returns info differant from /chelp. It is upto the
script writer to format the information returned. A hook is also provided
which applies to both /chelp and $help(). Write the proper on hook and never
have to woRry about it again. Added SCRIPT_HELP_FILE. This is a full
pathname/filename. Default is CTOOLZ_DIR/BitchX.help. $help() needs to be
called the first time with a filename. It is expanded to a full pathname
automatically. DESYNC_MESSAGE hook provided. See README.hooks for info.
IDENT_HACK can be set to the name of the file to use for your hacked ident
to hide the username. Default is ".noident". This files needs to reside in
your $HOME directory, so ~/ is prepended and expanded automatically.
If JOIN is hooked AUTO_NSLOOKUP wasn't happening. So we now do the lookup if
AUTO_NSLOOKUP is ON and pass that to the hook. You can no longer just "quit"
irc with active dcc's. A second prompt appears asking for verification.
Renamed command STATSK to /FKLINE. Integrated changes from ircii2.9base.
Fixed a dumb problem in remove_channel(). Forgot to add the nicks to the
whowas buffer when we left a channel. This would cause some ghost problems
if we then left a channel, and some time later rejoined it. Created a save
BitchX variables routine. Only saves the specific BitchX variables to
BitchX.sav file. Linux glob functions don't seem to work properly. So I've
now enabled the included glob function by default. Added a WHOLEFT hook. We
are saving the info from a netsplit currently. type //Wholeft sometime.
We'll have to see whether this information is correct before implementing
more of it. Server oPs/deops bans/unbans are now incremented when they
occur. Affected changes to decifer_mode and update_stats. Added /cleartab
which will clear the tabkey array and /clearauto for clearing the
autoreply table. Started adding has_ops to whowas info. This is for netsplit
stuff. Eventually if a user splits away with opz, on rejoin we won't de-op
them. Sounds simple, but it's not. We'll have todo a little more work before
this can be a reality.
0617 .56 released for comsumption.
Changed /set Log on to strip ansi escapes out of the output. Changed
behavior of /ban. we check the list of nicks to match the supplied ban. If
their is no match then we will either do one of two things. if a ! and a @
is in the ban spec then we just do a mode +b otherwise we search out the
match using whois and doing the ban that way. All nicks on the channel are
matched against the ban. Otherwise some could slip through the cracks.
Oops. .bitchxrc file was not being loaded properly due to a missing / .
Changed behaviour of /tban and /unban to follow the variable NUM_BANMODES
for the number of unbans todo in one shot. We now unban multiple bans in one
shot. Thanks to BlackJac for the start of a great INSTALLATION file. It was
the first time he had compiled the client and made some notes for other
beginNers and some not so beginners to follow. Found the little bug with
.BitchX no being created with u+x permissions. Added BITCHX_HELP var. This
is the complete path/filename of the default BitchX.help file. Default is
~/.BitchX/BitchX.help. Changed $help() to look at the SCRIPT_HELP var if no
filename is passed to it. This Allows us to set SCRIPT_HELP to a dir/helpfile
and then just call $help(some_topic). Notice the lack of filename. Default
is ~/.BitchX/BitchX.help still. Fixed small annoyance in /notify that could
possibly save a blank notify to the notify list. This caused the notify list
to display on startup. nasty bug in status.c fixed. Added a isuser()
function that returns info on a nick that is in your userlist,botlist or
shitlist. $isuser(nick userhost channel) is the syntax of this
useful little function. Channel can be left off in which case a * is
returned. The type of the list is returned as either USER|BOT|SHIT along with
the relavent information to that particular type of list, thanks Jordy.
Jordy also sent code!! for a new function called $pad(). It accepts a number
that is either +/- and the string to pad. If negative it pads to the right,
else it pads to the left. Fixed /set LOGFILE to expand the path of the
filename passed to it. /Window double no args would core the client. Fixed.
Without DCC_* hooks /dcc quiet really means quiet. /lastlog now strips out
all ansi codes period. Some hooks were being used that echo'd the lastlog
info to the screen. Ansi - chr 27 looks really ugly displayed this way.
Increased default timeout on dcc chats to 55 seconds, files is 3 * this
number.
0624 .57 released
immediately BigHead noticed a bug with the /user command. Fixed a bug
icebreak reported with $cluster(). Fixed dban so if we do a *.me the count
is more correct. 3 new functions. $isban(channel nick) returns 1 or 0 if the
person is on the internal ban list. $isop(channel nick) returns 1 or 0 if
the person has ops on the channel on the internal userlist.
ischanop(nick channel) is already implemented isvoice(channel nick) return 1
or 0 if the person has voice on the channel.
0626 .58 released
Fixed ctcp flooding I think. Had the wrong order of events necessary in
order to auto-ignore floods. Created a CTCP_DELAY variable. This is the
amount of time that is supposed to pass before we will accept another ctcp.
/ctcp niak xdcc list has a separate flood characteristic than normal ctcp.
These can be set using /set CDCC_FLOOD_AFTER and CDCC_FLOOD_RATE. Please do
understand what these represent before changing the default values. Also we
have CTCP_FLOOD_PROTECTION which can turn this on/off. Fixed a problem I
created with some color experimentation. Seems Bold was getting translated
into the color red. Changed output from dcc_transfer_struct. packet counts
were not exactly correct, due to differant buffering sizes between clients.
Changed status_msgcount to display a 0 for no away messages. Changed
flood_ignore to make the code a little more sensible. Anyone over 90 in the
userlist or the botlist can ctcp flood you without being kicked or ignored.
Due to some complaints on $help() formatting, we have now modified $help to
directly output the information to the user. A typical alias looks something
like the following
alias shelp {@htopic = [$0]?[$0]:[index] ;$help($htopic) }
062796 .59 Released
ctcp flood protection. If the current incoming ctcp is within CTCP_DELAY
seconds we drop the request. 3 works well for most situations. Someone
offering files may want to make this value 2 which is the default for
ircII2.9. Value is saved in the BitchX.sav file. Fixed a couple of other
nits with the wholeft commanD. Seems op kills were being interpreted as a
server split. Someone suggested using "))" as the fix. Seems to work. When
"we" left a channel it was being intrepreted as a server split as well. This
was in remove_channel(). /window double 1 on will create a double status on
window 1, /window double 2 on will create a double status on window 2 if it
exists else it does nothing. /mload now expand and searches paths for the
menu you'd like to load. /cdcc notice will now also accept a channel to
display the offerlist to. Added new ansi from reefa. Changed output of ctcp
version a little. Found a small bug in server.c where it was possible to
crash the client if we couldn't connect to a server. Found this while adding
/set NEXT_SERVER_ON_LOCAL_KILL to the client. Modified server_read_file to
check for a file called .ircservers in the $HOME directory. If found it is
parsed as a extra list of servers to be included after
/usr/local/lib/irc/ircII.servers. This behaviour might be modified later to
use one or the other and not both. Modified bans, kb etc to use one function
to create the ban string. Call it a code clean up. Fixed /ban to work
properly. Added User /bantype by request. Flooding once again. This time it
just might work. (if anyone ever asks you to add flood checking, tell em to
go f**k themselves). Added a new cset for PUBFLOOD_IGNORE_TIME. This is the
amount of time in minutes we will default ignore someone. if FLOOD_KICK is
off we don't kick someone that is pubflooding. We ignore them :). Whole
bunch of other minor details.
070196 .60 released.
Fixed .ircservers usage to not require it to be in the users home directory.
Probably solved most segfaults due to server's not being found etc. Might
have also fixed some misc segs' on linux systems with this as well.
Replaced two key bindings. TAB and ^] are setup as auto msg and auto
response by default within the client. Basically we can get rid of the
tabkey stuff from scripts. Changed $gettabkey and $addtabkey functions
around a little. Made /ClearAuto work as advertised. Moved clear_auto and
friend to a differant file (misc.c). Started adding /tlock and /modelock
functions. Cleaned up some code and some output fixes as suggested by
BarK0de who's creating a new helpfile for us. Added a new function called
$randomnick() which returns a string that could be useful as a nickname.
Also a command /randomnick will actually change your nick to some random
nickname. Patched in changes from new EPIC beta. /redirect might even work
now. minor speedups were involved here as well.
070796 .61 Released
well BJ finds a bug due to some lameness on my part. fixed irc.c. Also fixed
configure for Ultrix systems. Need to fix for AIX -lld. Removed more ComStud
lameness. Fixed some of my own lameness on the init of the auto reply
string, which should be automatically set to your nickname. It wasn't
occurring properly. Found and fixed a problem with $read(). Lines with no
carriage return were screwed up (Thanks Flier). BlackJac noticed a problem
with the status bar channel modes not being properly updated. ChaosLord sent
in a small patch for modifying argv to hide BitchX from admins. edit
config.h and #define CLOAKED "emacs" or whatever and recompile. BitchX now
looks like it's emacs and noT irc client. Sheik suggested something that
sounded pretty good. The ability to /ignore a whole channel or just certain
things on a channel. Well we can now do this. /ignore #bitchx public will
ignore all publics from the channel bitchx. The channel ignore is checked
after the regular ignore, so we can modify the behaviour of channel ignore
using dont_ignore for a nickname etc. Some types of ignores don't translate
well into channel ignore, so IGNORE_CRAP may not ignore everything you
normally would be used to on a channel wide basis. (And Sheik this was easy
to add :P). Added another var called SHOW_NUMERICS_STR. It's default at the
moment is the string from scz-te numerics. Basically you can now change this
on the fly, and add ansi in places you didn't think were possible. (Some
server responses for example). The default will change back to "***" after
awhile, but I want to leave it like this for a short time to make people
aware of it. Calculation of dcc rates on /dcc stats was corrected. Added
AR_REPLY hook which is called when user presses ^]. Nothing is added to the
input it's up to the script writer at this point to do something with this.
Added two new hooks AR_PUBLIC and AR_PUBLIC_OTHER. This makes some scripts
work a little strangely until the script writers catch on. :) Provided
better keybindings for pgup/pgdn/end. Modified do_screens to accomadate this
change. Found bug with /bind meta1 which would segfault the second time you
ran this command. Changed /w command just a little to default to something a
little better ie it now does a /w $C instead of a whois nickname by default.
Someone had pointed out that shitlist bans were not working. Added /tlock
command for locking the channel topic. Renamed a couple of variables to be
more consistant. So we now have MSGLOG_FILE and KILLLOG_FILE. Fixed some
more inconsistancies in various commands. Fixed /eval echo $f[e][ bug we
share with ePIC. stripansicodes used on /redirect output. /Tlock was not
quite right in the implementation of it. Fixed.
071896 62 released.
Added a new match() routine. we'll see how this works out. Routine is
wildmat routine from Rick Saltz and is almost a standard. Added a new
optional parameter to /unbot, /unuser and /unshit. -All will remove all
entries from the respective list. We also sync the channel nick list at the
same time which effectively completely removes all traces of that list.
Changed some internals around to make auto-op/deop more effective after a
chat with Sheik. SEND_IGNORE_MSG is used more often in the source ie whois.c
Also SEND_AWAY_MSG is now used as well. Added /back to compliment /away
command. It's an alias. /sping <server> and internal lag indicator. %L will
display lag on the status bar. -b switch added to load the script -before-
we connect to the server. Changes to bans for 2.9 servers. Also have to make
sure that user@host bans strip ~ as well. Documented -n switch. Added -r
switch for reading a specified list of servers other than the default
.ircservers. This file is relative to ~ or your home directory. Added four
new functions which are basically untested. $opensocket(name port) returns a
socket number. $closesocket(socket_number) closes a open socket.
$readsocket(socket_number) returns 0, -1 or number of chars read and the
string. $writesocket(socket_number string) writes to open socket and returns
either -1 or the number of chars written to the socket. If your writing to a
irc server make sure and append \n to the output. STATUS_LAG can be used to
setup what the lag indicator looks like. /mvoice and /voice added.

Thanks for all the bug reports from those who run this client, you're
helping tremendously. And no Fizzle_B there are no backdoorz in this client
that i know of.

And finally death to the code rippers..
